Well, I purchased another teener yesterday, red '74 2.0l with center console, front and rear sway bars. A new member, Chris Spence, had the car for sale locally. I looked at the car last weekend and decided I 'needed' another project car to work on. We completed the deal yesterday. I talked with Paul (URY914) and he agreed to help me transport the car from Chris' house to my new shop, thanks again Paul....
The car is drivable, but it's making a 'strange and expensive' knocking noise, so I felt it would be prudent to tow the car, then have an engine 'expert' diagnose the problem..... Here are the pics.... This is the pre-purchase side shot Chris sent me.... Attached thumbnail(s) |

Well, I've resumed working on this car. The current car that I've been driving has been sold and will be shipping out to NY soon. My wife and I are planning to attend Parade the first week of July. Well since I've sold my driver I'm going to try to finish this car and drive it up to NC...
Anyway, I dropped the engine/tranny so that I could finish the repairs in the engine compartment. This first business was to remove the battery tray and stand. The PO had already replaced this, but they mounted it back into place with either pop-rivets or sheet metal screws. Here's the before shot... After I got the battery tray out of the way, I noticed that the side wall needed some repair.. Then I noticed that the hell hole needed some attention... |
