Well I'm a newbie, but looking forward to help, comments, and thoughts as I bring my 73 x19 2.0 back to life. It is Phoenix Red, and I am the original owner, well my dad was, but it was always his and my car. I drove the car to my senior prom in 1974.
Dad passed a few years ago, and I finally freed up the time to get started refurbishing it this winter. This is an original California car has been in storage since 1993. I got it out of storage last month after making room in my shop, and am beginning to take it apart. I will post pictures as I go and keep a running blog going so all of you guys (and gals) can keep me from messing anything up. I want to do it right.

That little nut on the lower left is welded to the floor so you can bolt something in from the other side (gas pedal?) Don't try to remove it.

Yep, gas pedal mount. Thanks Garold...and nellums. Still haven't got the tank out yet. Dad must of just fueled up last time he drove. Sounds like there is 10-15 gallons of fuel in the tank, and I haven't figured out an easy way to drain it yet. I could do a couple of gallons at a time...But that really sounds messy.
