Did you ever sell this?

No, funny you should ask. My cousin was going to drive it and he was taking it for e-check when a brake line blew. I had it towed to Caves Rd. Sunoco and they told me Monday more than one line was bad and that it was going to need all new lines. Quoted me $1200. No way am I sinking that cash into this thing. It's still sitting at Sunoco, as I would prefer to save $40 and tow it home with my truck instead of paying for the tow back home. But the truck is in the middle of a header/exhaust swap.

One of the guys I grew up with told me to call his friend Chuck, who has a lift, that he might be willing to let me use it in the evening. If I can do it on a lift, I'd consider doing the lines, but there's no way I'm doing that on my back in my garage.

Boy was I dumb for not trading this thing in when I had the chance.

Can't remember if this suggestion was posted on this forum or another so this might be a redundy.

You might cut the brake line at the leak and bend the upstream end over to seal it. Do a little bleeding if necessary and carefully drive it home with 2 or 3 wheel brakes, depending on where the leak is.

We've been there and done that. More than once.
