Congratulations on the new baby, Mike.
Along with the usual cleaning and checking, be sure to REPLACE all three
brake hoses and rebuild/replace the calipers and wheel cylinders. Also,
check the master cylinder carefully. Give all the electrical
connections, particularly the bullet connectors and grounds a good cleaning.
My seat rails looked terrible, but some time with a wire wheel cleaned
them up. I painted them except the parts that actually mate. While the
seats are out, pull the carpets and trim pieces and fix all the rusty
panels.
You're in for a fun summer 2009.

'79 in St. Louis
------------------------
I am a proud new owner of a 79 midget 1500. It's surprisingly in great
shape for sitting under a tarp for 6 years. I am looking for seat
rails, upper and lower. I have looked online at some sites friends gave
me. All I see are lower guides. Can anyone tell me where I can get
both upper and lower or what might be a suitable replace part?
Also, can anyone tell me what I might want to look at, that may have
gone bad after sitting outside under a tarp for so long? It does turn
over.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
