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.

Bottom of the tranny has a nice oil "crust" all along the bottom. The other thing that jumps out at me in the second picture is the duct from the heat exchanger just hanging in the breeze connected with a zip tie.
If you look close, you can also see the aluminum foil wrapped around the fuel lines as a kludge fix to the "won't start when hot" problem. Really Dad?? The u-bolt fix of the clutch is also clear. The good news, is that I'm still not seeing any rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |

The other thing that jumps out at me in the second picture is the duct from the heat exchanger just hanging in the breeze connected with a zip tie. Actually, someone added that hose to route hot air away from the fuel pump. The heater valve just dumps the hot air under the car when the valve is closed. Someone added a hose to the valve outlet to redirect the hot air away from the pump. Not really a bad idea ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
