overdue update
I have been slack, so here goes.
Ordered some non-molded carpet and have it fitting good, 4-speed hump needs tweeking.
Brakes bleed and working once I adjusted the shoes in.
Radiater in, plumbing done , wiring hooked up. Fitted old exhaust system.
Start-up attemped and achieved. Would not run for any lenght of time. Fuel supply issue ? fuel pump faulty ? tried new pump and still no go. Friend said pressurise tank, still poor flow, decided to blow air back to tank and the problem showed its self. No bubbling noises. pick-up too far off the bottom of the tank. Added some fuel hose to pick-up and car RUNS. Even went for a drive up and down the side road in front of my house. Very happy.
Cut speaker holes in rear parcel shelf, it is ready to be covered in black vinyl.
Have straightened door cards by re-soaking them in water and them placing weights on them while they dry out. Also had to make some patches out of 1mm alloy to repair clip holes. Have now painted them and the rear cards , black.
Inside of doors have been painted black, they are now ready to go on car.
Have fitted a number of small items such as interior mirror, lettering, etc.
Washed seatbelts, have been able to find some original retractor belts, thanks Hawk.
Next to do are - repair bumpers/ finish the hood/ strip seats and clean frames in readiness for my new covers ( big thanks to Hawk).
