Awesome! That looks great and I'm very partial to Light Ivory since that's what my car is!!
Good luck with the engine build (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Yeah, I wasn't super excited about the white color, but after seeing it I'm stoked! It was the right choice and no one can fault a PO for going back to the original color (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Spent Saturday pulling out parts and doing jobs I had materials for. It all seems daunting until I start one small task and just work through it one step at a time. A little extra time equates to better details.....
Engine bay wiring and hold down clips cleaned up and installed. I cleaned each one and coated it with protectant. I then heated them over my heater for a few minutes to make them pliable for install. ![]() Sway bar restored and installed (mostly). I scored some restored suspension mounts from Bruce here too. Everything he sells is uber top notch! ![]() Wiper assembly refreshed and installed. I read a post on different wiring on early vs late cars so I swapped my original and working motor out on the clean assembly I bought here. Wiper jets were in the stash of NOS bits my friend Eric Wills gave me. ![]() |

Installed my upper dash and secured the dash itself. a little heat should tighten up the vinyl. 914 Rubber dash to window seal went in easier than expected.
![]() Rear trunk wiring going in. I have a few connections that I need to refresh. The PO had painted all this orange so I took the easy rout and just wrapped it back up after inspection ![]() I had to mount one of my Euro tail lights to check it out. New seals fit well ![]() |

I'm pretty happy with my handy work on the rear trunk repair. It's not super perfect but it's pretty good for a first timer.
![]() My work is nothing compared to Scotty B's. Scotty got busy with better paying projects so I had a local shop do the final paint. I think the body paint is a 9.5 but the details are lacking a bit. Trunks and engine bay could have been better but I'm happy. ![]() ![]() |

Finally unpacked the bumpers I bought three years ago. Rear is great but the front will need some polishing.
![]() Shea restored headlight carriers. Like allot of stuff I've bought from Eric, the quality is beyond compare. But I need allot of fasteners (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ![]() |

You're CRUSHING the rebuild. This is the best part to watch, and most rewarding by a long-shot. Shows you what all the hard work has accomplished.
Stay at it mate! |

Good times in the g-rage. I sanded and polished my trim, washed allot of the original rubber so I could salvage the outer door seals and front hood seal. Installed rear trunk seals and stuck the logo on the back. It's straighter than it looks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I worked on my trim last week. It all looked pretty tired
![]() So I sanded it with 400, then 600, then 1000. Then I used a buffing wheel and some metal polishing compound followed by a little mother's aluminum mag polish. The toughest part was getting past all the old anodizing and getting the surfaces flat enough to sand..... Voila (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ![]() Installed the rear bumper and top along with the signals and trunk electrical ![]() |
