Arrival!

After an overnight trip up the Hume, the Impala arrived via quick-lift on Thu 26.05.2011 at ~ 11:30 AM.

What a car! Sooo glad to finally drive the car up the driveway.
The drive off the quick-lift showed a trail of tranny fluid down the tray of the truck. A quick look underneath showed the culprit... a hastily fitted hose to the transmission cooler was leaking. Nipping up the clamp soon solved that.

Initial thoughts...
- better body than I had expected, despite being in need of a wash (Sat's job)
- over the moon that is started on the key and idled perfectly
- super super light steering with no feedback at all
- wide like no other car I can remember driving
- happy we managed to get it to fit in the garage!

Straight away I can see the battery needs retaining and the rear exhaust hanger needs replacing.

To-do list...
- battery clamp
- rear exhaust hanger
