Today marked the time for visiting the 323 in Syracuse and getting a few things out of the way prior to the towing. One: swap out the tires and install a set of new ones, two: replace windshield. An hour-and-a-half later the tires are on and the windshield placed and ready for install. The tarp and brick method didn't keep cats out. There was a big gray and white tomcat sitting in the car when we pulled the tarps off... please don't use this as your litter box!
The mildew is certainly a factor as you can see by the interior shots. This will require a good cleaning to get back in shape. I brought a jack and good thing Tom has a low-profile jack because mine would not get under the E21 with all the flats! We managed to jack it up under the front sway bar brackets to get the front tires on and get to the rear control arms in back to install the rears. One point made me nervous: the right rear brake disc was missing. The wheel just hits the caliper when there is no disc installed, but we found it in the trunk.
Now for installing the Class 3 hitch on the van and off we go!!
