'Greetings one and all!
I am new to this forum and am just about to drop some modest dollars on an amazingly well preserved '85 5th Avenue. This will be my daily driver and, as such, I want to put some money into it to make it more responsive and reliable.
Since the purchase price is so low, I have $2,000/2,500 to spend on it afterwards. Please keep in mind, I am a good nurse, but no wrench turner. The work will be farmed out to a pro.
So where should I start?
Please let me know what you think.
Thank you!
Brian

So where should I start?
- Ditch the Lean Burn?
- New carb and intake?
- Dual exhaust?
- Suspension upgrade?
- New brake and fuel lines?
Please let me know what you think.
Thank you!
