The doors had some debris & left over road Salt !!
Power wash really cleaned it up, bottom of door needed attention too!
Time to find some silicone spray for final door prep.

thats weird. ive never seen a park ave without either the rippled leather in the door or the wood trim piece at the top.

the blue alone is real rare too, let alone the blue cloth.

leak turned out to be the water pump. big pain in the butt but better than a intake and lower gasket job.

Washed/waxed it the other day. Looks like I got a lot of touching up to do when the weather gets better.

Replaced tcc solenoid, both shift solenoids, range selector switch, tranny internal wiring harness, input speed sensor, and output speed sensor on the truck today. Also redid the shifter arm, that I made a couple months ago, since I couldn't get the transmission into park. I had to drill a different hole and readjust the linkage.

Ran it a couple times last year. Haven't really messed with it much. I'm still thinking I have air in the fuel lines. Other than that it takes up space in the garage.
