In about a month I will be taking delivery of my next project, a rust free 74 2.0. this car was ordered with the A/C, these I understand were all dealer installed.
After looking at the install I just have one thing to say (for those of you who havent seen one)what a hack job they basically cut the front trunk floor pan out for the condenser and cut the engine seal area in the engine bay for the hoses.
I have been looking for patch peices for this area and I dont think anyone is reproducing that piece but maybe Im wrong.
I am not planning to use A/C and I am planning to remove and repair the places that were dealer hacked does anyone know where I can get a front trunk floor pan? I am guessing itll come from a donor car, any sawzall parties in the near future?
The short term plan for this is to bring it back to daily driver status with a projected driver status completion in Oct.
after that I will try and give a break to have it painted.
On a better note other than that the car is really clean and shouldnt take too much work to complete.

Oh BTW its signal orange

kelly, the pss side shelve piece is hard to get without puchasing the whole unit, plus you waste a bunch of $ if all you need is the corner piece . but there is hope. if you can find a used corner piece from from the pass side you can make it fit nicely. basicly the the drivers side is a mirrior image. make a template of the curves and slide it along. when you like the fit flip the pattern over and it should fit nicely. poor discription, i'll go through some discs and see if i can find the images.

edit: the green piece is cut from the drivers side, pretty slick huh? dave ellison this for me. lucky the pass shelve wasn't rotted from the bat and i only needed the notch piece that was cut out for the compr. i'll bet the poor installer that had to retro fit ac into these cars groaned when he picked up his work order. lots of holes in hard to get to places.
