Nothing to the car....but I've been cleaning and rearranging the shop, had some time yesterday and turned an empty corner into a work area. Built a workbench, then organized all the parts for my 3.2 conversion. Got most of the parts collected....now it's time to start putting it all together, only two more months if I'm going to drive it to WCR.

I bought the (stainless) ring and leather on eBay, the puck from 914 Rubber. Pretty straightforward. I like the look. Now I gotta get my other wheel re-covered in leather.

Got a chance to swing by the shop today - dropped some parts off for my wife's '71 restoration (almost have everything now), picked up my fiberglass rockers panels and mounting hardware and brought them home.

After priming some wood trim tomorrow, hoping to get the rockers installed ... and maybe the ignition switch too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Today it was sunny and 16 degrees. Teener started right up after sitting for five days. Drove it 15 miles at highway speed. A little rough until it got warm.

Snow and rain predicted next few days. Back to the garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

hey Larmo: Why don't you go out to the front deck next time over, gaze at the Big Blue Pacific for a while...... - while I trade knob inserts with you - your eyesight is better than mine so my old faded, rubbed out ones will serve you just fine.............. the horn button look great / simple, clean and well crested.

Was able to weld my rear suspension console on my 71 1.7 yesterday and today finish installing the transmission from the 71 1.7 MS car to and 75 1.8 Ljet and now I have 1st gear after driving the 75 since 2011 without it. But I have problem shifting it to 2nd gear from 1st gear, there is grinding. When I had my old transmission, I'm having problem shifting to 2nd gear whenever I have a full stop, what I do before is to shift it to 2nd gear while in motion before a full stop.

Noel, is your clutch completely disengaging? You might try adjusting it a little tighter and see if it helps.



I got a late start priming, so didn't get to work on the 'BB' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Thanks for your response Mark! Car move in about 1/3 release on the clutch pedal. I assume that is the right adjustment. All gears shift smoothly except when going to 2nd gear from 1st gear. Scary when you try to get the initial power from 1st gear then shift to 2nd gear but you will get that grinding! It can go in but very very careful but the momentum from 1st will lost already. But I will try tomorrow tightening a little bit more till maybe half way of pedal release before disengaging.

Purchased a center condole from Harpo to match the gage cluster I had, but he was missing. Thanks David for helping me complete my interior.

If your referring to my beast, my life is on hold due to a detached retina. Two laser eye surgerys later, it's now slowly healing.
I was told no lifting, bending, etc for several weeks now. I am so close to getting my car running. I was hoping to drive it to the Phoenix club, car show and swap meet, but that ain't going to happen again.

Pulled my front drop links, cleaned, primed and painted. In the process I found my fuel leak. Huh? I had smelled gas for a few weeks but saw nothing. When I filled up at Costco I noticed a bit of fuel beneath the car when I returned from shopping inside so I thought I'd peak beneath the tank. When home I removed the steering rack cover and it was dry as a bone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) As I'm removing the drop links I notice gas dripping from the gas overflow tube. I had the car jacked up on the left side which brought the fuel level up to the "old" overflow tank gasket which is on the right side, as the tank was still pretty full. When level and not completely full it did not leak but smelled. Installed Mikey's new gasket and all is good. Also installed his rear trunk seal set.

Holy moly, Steve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) How'd that happen? Hang in there ... and hope to see you at the Phoenix Club (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I was asking the other Steve (pneuhyde) - he bought my '72 5-lug roller back in 2013 and last time he posted some pix, it was shaping up nicely.



OK, I have the keys to the 'BB' in my hand, so let's see what I can get done today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
