Hey Brian, sorry I don't recall seeing you here before, so . You're doing some really nice work with your dad's car. I would much rather see you keep it, but I'm sure you'll make sure it goes to a good owner. Great work!

Posted by: raw1298 Nov 27 2012, 08:02 AM

When you finish you should drive and see if you still want to sell!

Posted by: 914itis Nov 27 2012, 09:28 AM

Realy nice work , and welcome to the world , it seems like you starting well, can you post a little bit of your background working with cars.

Posted by: Cupomeat Nov 27 2012, 09:36 AM

the car looks like it is in pretty good shape!

Ah, west coast cars... So nice...


On the one shot of the manifolds, it looks like the two manifolds have different color injectors. is that the case, or is that just my interpretation of the picture.

All the injectors should be the same color or else it will be an issue.

I forgot if they are supposed to be yellow or black for a 70 1.7, but someone here will know.

Posted by: Bob L. Nov 27 2012, 12:06 PM

Hi and


Nice on the rust repairs, I'll be doing my own soon (hopefully).

I noticed the intake manifold looks like it's for L-jet and that isn't stock for a 71.
I could be wrong, I'm no expert. It may be related to the different color injectors, if they are in fact different.
Ill bet someone has been tinkering in there.

You really need to figure out the up/down thing with your phone pictures ...

That guy trapped in there is my friend Sean, he is a professional welder, and is helping me with my rust issues.

We have all the panels tacked in, and in a couple weeks we are transporting to his shop so he can TIG everything nice and clean.

All the injectors are yellow, but when i painted the metal portion when i was cleaning the motor i might have missed a spot when masking and got some black paint possibly maybe.

I never even thought to look at the mileage, my guess is 100,000+, this car was my dads daily commuter until he parked it in the garage sometime in the 1990's.

Welcome back. Are you driving it? Being your Dad's car, your should keep it.

Posted by: arkitect Oct 11 2014, 06:54 AM

Brian,
Great looking repairs you and your buddy did.

How's it running now?

Did you decide to keep it?

Dave

Posted by: malcolm2 Oct 11 2014, 07:58 AM

Great job so far. Keep it up. Maybe once you drive it, you'll keep it???

Posted by: dtpten Oct 13 2014, 12:15 PM

runs on starting fluid, having a bad pump or pump is not running because of electrical contacts..?

Posted by: dtpten Oct 16 2014, 06:05 PM

Posted by: dtpten Oct 21 2014, 04:39 PM

Now just need to order that fuel pump and brake calipers.

Posted by: dtpten Oct 23 2014, 06:30 PM

had a bad ignition switch, found pricey replacement, then to broke the 12 pin plastic connector that attaches inside the dash for ignition/turn signal terminal. On hold until i glue or find a replacement connector.

Posted by: dtpten May 18 2015, 04:49 PM

going the fix it myself , glue it back together and make a mold and pour resin route.

Posted by: dtpten Jun 10 2016, 10:34 AM

Update! I had bad relay board, and 3 bad injectors but all replaced now.
The car started on second key turn and idles smooth. I changed the master cylinder and will be bleeding rear and front brakes in the next couple days. I need to adjust the clutch, was having problems into first and reverse.
Yay for me!

side note, i did take the car out for a slow drive on a quiet street.
