Preparing for massive road trip - to-do checklist
I picked up my 122S earlier this month and over the winter, I plan on preparing it for an 8000-KM road trip next summer, where it will get driven somewhat hard. The car was last daily driven in California in 2010. It was brought to Canada after that and only run sporadically since. I have had it running, but there's a big hole in the rad, so I haven't run it for very long or driven it at all.
I've started a to-do list but I know that I am missing things. Although I will drive the car hard, I am building it for reliability more than anything. Here is my list so far: Engine/Drivetrain Replace spark plugs - done Replace spark plug wires - done Replace coil Replace distributor cap - done Replace rotor - done Replace points Replace battery Replace battery cables - done Replace all fuel line - done Replace fuel filter - done Drain/clean fuel tank – done Rebuild carbs Replace air filters Replace fan belt Complete compression test Clean carb Adjust valves Replace valve cover gasket Pick up rad, have it tested and cleaned Replace radiator hoses Replace clutch/flywheel Inspect transmission/replace fluid Inspect differential/replace fluid Replace differential gasket Replace engine mounts Brakes Flush all fluid Replace all soft lines (Stainless?) Turn/replace front rotors Rebuild front calipers Replace pads Replace shoes/hardware Replace/rebuild master cylinder Suspension Replace shocks/springs Replace tie rods Replace ball joints Replace all bushings Wheels/tires Sandblast/paint wheels Replace tires and spare Exterior Replace weather stripping in rear ¼ windows Replace door weather stripping Replace wipers Clean/buff oxidized paint Interior Purchase seats from parts car – done Replace seats Install headrests? Install tachometer Clean thoroughly Tidy up dash wiring Remove/replace dash pad Fix horn Replace or re-web seat belts So? What am I missing? |
