Default "New" 1981 245

Hi to all.
Days ago I was given a 1981 245 DL. The previous owners had it in a warehouse and needed to say goodbye to it.

So new to me!
Some basic issues to resolve before registering it in CA.

We've had a 244 and a 245 in the family years ago so this one going to be a fun project.
I'll be searching here for answers. I look forward to this community.

Reach out if you live in the Coachella Valley

Wm.
