 Is this a stock firewall pad?, What else in the engine bay looks bad? |

As some of you know, I just bought this car a couple weeks ago. I'm seriously looking into doing a facelift on the car such as new paint, some interior, and detailing the engine bay. I pretty much know what needs to be done body and interior wise. Now I'm trying to determine what the engine bay will need. I'm not going for an original resto, and plan on keeping the carbs. I'm thinking it may just need a battery tray and painted. Some of the wiring looks ugly, so maybe that can be straightened up. Is that firewall pad stock or something that was added? Everything seems solid as far as rust goes. What looks bad to you guys?

fuel injection relay panel
That says some major rewiring has been done on your car. A lot of stuff passes through that panel - like the voltage regulator lying there. |

A lot of stuff passes through that panel - like the voltage regulator lying there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) So when a car is converted to a dual carb setup, is it common practice to remove this relay board or do most people leave it in to perform some functions? Also, what is the blower motor under the fuel injection panel brackets? It's abviously not hooked up! |
