Well, here we are. Kept trying to get more done before winter comes. (it came, was here for over 2 weeks and now it is fall again).
The front end has now been gone through, replaced ball joints, tie rods, sleeves etc. Steers much better now. The mechanic said it looked like original components in it yet. Also had new tail pipes put on, sounds much better now. Just about ready for the first oil change and then hope to work on the interior over the winter.
