I've been on the road for a few days, but some stuff was done before I left. In general, I'm going through the piles of removed parts, sorting, cleaning, refurbishing and then setting them aside for later. I've repaired the clock (running fast for now, slowly backing off the adjustment), had the rip in the driver's seat repaired, and spiffed up the headlight mechanisms and the engine lid grill. Will be working on the tail light housings next. Also have begun ordering the parts I will need for reassembly. SMC has a nice sale on the windshield trim parts now, so that is already ordered. Will be placing a good sized order with 914rubber.com in a few days, as soon as I finish compiling the list of needed parts.

Not many pictures of the stuff. A before-after of the seat repair, and a boring picture of the clock ticking away.

Drove it to the local PCA monthly coffee gathering today. (For any of you near Eugene, 1st Saturday of each month, 10:00 at Market of Choice at 29th & Willamette. Park way at the north end in back.)



Admitting that it still has some needs, especially in the suspension, I can see that these cars are a riot to drive, even with just a stock 2.0. This is getting fun.

Finalized a good sized order with Scott at 914rubber. Much new stuff. Rubber, carpet, vinyl, etc.

Reassembly will be slower than progress so far, both due to the need to be careful and do it right, and also because I will be on the road for a few days in the middle of the month at Werks in Monterrey.

It IS a great color. While many of the '70s colors are cool, this is one one my favorites. It is going to attract a LOT of attention.

Oh yes, I'm building it to be a driver, not a show car. It will be a great bug killer.

Speaking of, the painter used tinted sealer before paint, rather than white. The sealer coat is yellow too, so rock chips aren't going to be as obvious.

Also have noted I still have a small oil drop from the taco plate, so I ordered a billet replacement from Boatyard Buses (Jonesy) in the UK. Will dump the oil and install it sometime prior to getting the car assembled.

Racer Chris and I sponsored a group buy from Neil (Tuna Cans and Taco Plates) back in 2013 (my how time flies). Summit Racing sells the correct (shorter) VDO temperature sensor for that taco plate for about $20. ... I'll see if I can dig up the part # for ya ...

Please do, Mark. My current sensor is suspect anyway, a correct replacement would be great.

Looks like the price has gone up a little in the past 4 years.

VDO # 323-055

Looks like Amazon might have the best price at the moment ... https://www.amazon.com/VDO-323-055D-323055-...r/dp/B00029XDSU

Your car looks great already (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Wished I could afford a nice new paint job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Brought it home from the paint shop today. Haven't had time to really inspect it closely yet, but what I've seen so far is really good. Very pleased.
