Got some thing done. Mostly just little things but it feels good to knock them off the list.
Replaced the broken hood latch and got the battery hold down cleaned and reconnected.
Got the wiring up under the dash and column like it should be, they had also disconnected the cruise control controller, so I got that rewired as well.
Pressure washed the underside and bed. Noticed the transmission pan was missing a bolt, which is causing the trans leak, and of course i don't have the right bolt on hand.
Adjusted the carb and fixed the fast idle, also fixed about ten vacuum lines that where cracked or disconnected.
The grille was rattling, missing two screw and half the other ones where lose.
Cleaned out the interior and gave it a good vacuuming, need to replace the carpet and pad.
Ordered new door seals, review mirror, carpet and pad and interior paint for the dash and door panels.

I got all that done and took it for a thirty minute drive.
