    Had a hydraulic line for the suspension start leaking and since the wagon is down while the hose is being rebuilt I decided to flush the heater core, descale and repair all the holes that appeared in the metal octopus that routes the coolant at the firewall, plus clean the firewall a bit more along with installing new heater hoses ( not done yet).

    I should get the hoses in tomorrow and go from there.

    Finally got around to uploading a couple of pics from the clean up and hose replacement under the hood of the 85,

    And almost finished, I wish the hydraulic and brake reservoirs along with the washer tank were still available they would have really helped with the under hood clean up. Oh well you snooze you loose.

    Replaced the Hydroboost, and resealed the steering gear box. No more leaks. Car pulled to the right a little, adjusted the driver's side camber and caster, 3/32 inch shims added to the rear 5/32 shims removed from the front, now it goes straight.
