Another project car in the books! This one was a 1970 Pontiac GTO and wow is she a beaut. We cleaned up the wiring harness, connected the hood tachometer, installed gauges, installed the rear sway bar, replaced the pinion seal, installed a new fuel line at the carburetor, fixed an antifreeze leak , diagnosed a stalling issue, and installed spark plug wire looms.
Fun Fact Friday!
A little late to the party with today's fun fact but I am going to reiterate that you are able to get your car inspected 2 months before your sticker expires! Which means if you have a December expiration but want to beat the cold, you can bring in your car anytime between now and then to get your inspection done. Call today (and leave a message since we are already closed for the day 😉) or call early next week to schedule your appointment...724-335-5444
