I'll install my Engman fuse panel when I remove the driver seat to install a new pull handle. Glad to hear it's an easy job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looking great John. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I did some interior work...

First I had to modify the shift plate:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net-1110-1339359380.1.jpg)

Then I tacked it in place because I wanted it under the carpet:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net-1110-1339359381.2.jpg)

Then I started laying felt:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net-1110-1339359381.3.jpg)

I like the look of the plate hidden under the felt:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net-1110-1339359382.4.jpg)

I put the console and the heater lever on top of the felt:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net-1110-1339359382.5.jpg)

Next, felt on the longs. Thanks Ferg for the last remaining heater hose:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net-1110-1339359382.6.jpg)

GT rubber mats in place:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net-1110-1339359382.7.jpg)

Setting contact adhesive boundaries while laying felt:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net-1110-1339359382.8.jpg)

Basically done. Seats are in. I need to make a few mats for behind the seats and get the roll bar installed:

If the key we in the right place, I wouldn't turn it into a clone. So... I beg to differ. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I drove it to work today too.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) One week on the road after 5 years or so of off and on resto and not one leak or hitch! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Now I think that I am going to kick it up a notch and start driving her like she was meant to be driven. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

For $12 and super easy clean up, this stuff did a respectable job cleaning the built up oil stains on my garage floor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Had my little "shifter linkage bushing replacement adventure" Saturday, as documented over in this thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=187814

Working better than before, despite being kludged up. At least now I know what needs to be done, that it isn't fixing the other issue, and that I should focus on rebuilding/replacing the half shafts first anyway...

Stopped by Joe Sharp's on Sunday to repair his LM-1. One of his neighbors had this nifty 'FREE' workbench sitting at the curb.
I snagged it and hauled it to the house ... screwed some wheels to the bottom this morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also, wire brushed and primed some pieces of 'angle iron' for the blast cabinet's dolly. Why do they call it iron?, it's steel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Attached Image


Blasted and primed some '6' tin parts

... and put a deposit on this (7'x16' with a 3' v-nose) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Should be delivered on Saturday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
