Recently put back on the road and is running beautifully. Passenger door sticks out 1/8th of an inch on lower rear corner, have not tried to address in anyway. Trans will hiccup slightly if you put your foot in the carpet. With regular cruising manners she is just fine. Stays nice and cool even in warm weather traffic driving. Heater blower currently non op, have not trouble shot yet as its only driven in nice weather.
