Drives like a new vehicle now. With the new leather seats, the interior looks and feels new.
I was fortunate that the previous owners took great care of this one. Whatever maintenance work they did or had done, things were installed properly. No stripped threads, missing fasteners, or funny stuff. Except for one lower control arm bushing, an "A" & "B" sub frame bushing spool on one side, and a rear shackle bolt, all fasteners could be removed.
