did the back date work on the car today- front was a perfect fit and really the rear was perfect but the bumper fit was not, it will have to be really cranked down , it doesnt have as much curve as the car .
Bigkensteel's thread was spot on for instructing how to do this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) front trimmed off Attached thumbnail(s) |

got a bit more done with motor tin over the weekend, ready to do push rod tube seals and then get all the tin back on- but before I do that I might paint the transmission- have not decided on chrome shop for bumpers yet,
made short list of stuff I need and stuff I want getting ready for assembly - new outer rockers, still need to get those ordred - sent my throttle body for rehab , - trim bits, - more of a want than need- interior rear targa bar pad from 914rubber, side pieces, and all the aluminum trim parts for targa and window - - will order SS fuel lines soon, , I pulled some pictures from an old thread fo the floor pan and jack point rust repair I will repost here soon, the work done by Tangerine was significant . Not the best pictures but good for documentation. - every day I wake up thinking of things to source and do , its neverending! |

Not the best pictures but good for documentation. - every day I wake up thinking of things to source and do , its neverending! What the issue on your TB? I have one with new sensor board already installed. nothing horrible, its 45 years old, a bit sticky on full return, and at first opening, I did clean it but the butterfly valve gets wear as does the shaft, I just decided that it would be nice to have one that was like or better than new to put back on car - I was getting a weird occasional buck that I could never nail down for sure. might have to do with the hotspark module, or TPS but the TPS has zero wear was an NOS one I picked up and installed. It doesn't do it on full hard acceleration , like it used to when I had a worn bad TPS circuit board. either way I guess its another think to try and eliminate- it will be interesting to see if that occurs with the 123ignition distributor vs the stock one- I wont know for probably 6 weeks. oh, also trying to decide if I should repaint the gas tank while its out- wish I had a powder coater in the area close I would love to have that done. Hold on to that t.b. you never know if you will want to use that , - what you need is a car that you can drive and one that is a project.. |
