Re: Lulubelle awakens
The belle was put into the garage July 7, the disassembly began. My guess is the PO had no intent on stopping valve cover gasket leaks - there was probably 4 qts of caked-on oil all over the engine, bell and trans.
Fortunately, she came apart easily. Southern California weather certainly helped.
Then I discovered something cool, really cool.
A 283 w/manual 3 speed - drumroll please - an overdrive. At the time, I knew it was cool but now I realize what it means for highway cruzin!
Unfortunately, I didn't take interior pics as I should have before the disassembly. 2 buckets, deluxe heater, steering wheel all hacked up. And all painted black with a rattle can.
