I bought a z-green 74 and am in the process of sorting it out to run. I am replacing everything that is missing and not correct. I started sorting out the fuel injection and found the fuel pump moved to the front of the car with a piece of zip cord run through the tunnel from the rear to power the pump. All of this was mounted on the front suspension pan cover.
Wonder why this door rotted out? It is completely covered with 1/2 " carpet pad. Every surface had pad glued down including the bottom of the door where the drain holes were. Both door were done like this. Back wall had same carpet pad behind the molded wall. Attached image(s)

Spent some time today helping a fairly new owner sort out some issues. Removed front and rear hard wired radar detectors and a satellite radio system with Bluetooth leaving just the am/fm/cd head installed to fill the hole in the dash. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Pulled out 6 feet of antenna cable and other wiring that was wrapped around the steering column by the upper flex joint and other remnants from an ?alarm system?. In the engine compartment were two pull knob choke cables hooked to the heater boxes even though the stock cable were still there and working. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) But the best DAPO WTF was the 50+ pound steel ring bolted to the floor of the trunk to center the spare tire. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Next thing to sort out is fuel pump toggle switch hanging under the dash and slop in the shifter.
