    Blead the brakes again , drilled some drain holes . I got the speedometer bounce down to 1\8 to 1\4 of an inch . Cleaned it with alcohol swabs and carb cleaner .It is very accurate according to gps.

    Did you spray primer on the grill or did you do something else to it? I've never been successful priming and painting anything that does not seem to start rusting again very soon. Looks good.

    Primed the painted . Paint helps keep the rust away !
