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.

A couple of thoughts after my first week of disassembly.
I’m going to need to start putting together a long list of parts I need, and wasn’t sure the best way to do it in the thread. Since I will need input on what to include on my list I wanted to keep it in one place so it would be easy to see and track. I guess there are 2 ways to do it. I could keep editing my original post and adding parts there which would show up at the top of every page. Or I could start a different thread just for the list of parts. It just seems like it would be a little hard to track the list of parts through page after page of pictures and comments. Anyone have thoughts and suggestions? What have others done? Also, in my Haynes manual it said that when removing the rocker panels I would need to remove the plastic expansion rivets. Well, I don’t know about others, but mine weren’t plastic, they were real metal rivets. |
