Needs the following:
Original cloth/vinyl interior front and rear seat bottoms need reupholstered. Engine fires up and runs very well but does smoke after very prolonged idle times and has some slight lifter noise.

The engine also has new freeze plugs and motor mounts. Just recently a newmaster cylinder and battery were installed, nd the wheel cylinders were re-done.
