    gents:

    got a sweet clean original M715 out of a kentucky fire house. 12M. geared too low to drive much. has the novak 8 cylinder swap. what do i need to have done to her so i can drive it more than just on july 4th? power brakes and steering would be the first start. is this easy to do?

    what else?

    When you say geared to low, do you mean stock axels? 587 gears? I have original steering and brakes in mine. It doesn't bother me to drive it, but I must admit it's hardly a daily driver. Original 230ci Tornado also. You'll get lots of help with steering and brake upgrades on this site. It's a common thing to do among 715 owners. Stay tuned Bob, your answers will start coming in soon.

    They'll run in sand, but you better air down your tires a bit.

    Use the 'search' icon in the crossbar above to answer many of your questions.

    BTW, I spent a week in Corolla, NC last may, nice place to visit, but I'm sure I can't afford to buy anything on those islands.....
