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) |

Worked on the car again this weekend. It was a very productive one, too. I began working on the interior. I began by removing the tar on the floor and the glue from the rear firewall. After removing the seam sealer in the corner of the floor, I found a section behind the passenger seat had rusted out.
Here's the before shot... Here's the batch that I created... After cutting, fitting, welding, bondoing, spraying primer, here's the final piece... after about 6 hours... |
