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) |

I decided I didn't like the way the car looked after I painted myself, so I sanded all of the panels and reprimered it. I'll take to a professional painter and have them shoot the color.... It took me several days to get the front and rear trunk lids correct, but just a couple of hours per fender/door areas.
Here's a shot after I sanded all of the panels. You'll noticed that I removed the front and rear trunk and engine lids, along with the windows. Also, I taped up the front trunk area to minimize the dust. Here's a shot of it taped up. You'll also notice that I taped the paper to the floor, to keep any overspray off the suspension pieces... Finally, new primer.... -- Rob |
