Move It!

Now that the engine runs, we took the car for a short ride. This is the first time the car has moved under it's own power in more than 10 years.
We wanted to just test that it would roll, and that the transmission works, and the rear differential work. We replaced the rear differential fluid last week, and checked the gearbox oil while we were at it. The right front brake cylinder is leaking, which is also why this ride was so short. We need to fix the brakes, and put in the windshield in case we have trouble getting the car back into the garage once we move it out. We could at least part it at the end of the driveway and fix up whatever is giving us grief.
