Ok guys,
I am taking everyones advise here, picking a particular piece for the project of getting the 72 back on the road. I chose to tackle the interior first - stripped it bare - except for the handbrake, how the heck do you get that thing off? and scraped and grinded and wire wheeled off all the interior rust. Just finishing that part, have to pull the gas and clutch/brake pedals, then ospho up and prime the metal, paint it, then go with new carpet kit, new seat bottoms, and hopefully 914 rubbers new back stop firewall piece. Obviously The heater / defroster tubes are rotten (I assume that those 2" vent tubes coming off both sides , and going into the dash. so I would rather finish up project 1 - the interior rust removal and repaint, before i tackle another piece of the puzzle, but am I getting myself into a bind by not doing the dash at the same time? any advise is appreciated thanks carl j auberry Ca |

But there are a few projects that are related...or at least best tackled "while you're at it." One example is replacing the nylon fuel lines with stainless. Best to do that before the interior is back together since you'll have better access to the tunnel. Post a list of the projects you've got in mind and the brain trust here will be happy to organize them for ya! |

OK so first, I am doing the interior, removing any surface rust, repairing any holes, Ospho the thing, then prime and paint. After that, new or refurbished pedals, a new carpet kit, and refurbishing seats and firewall board. Dash will need a new Dash pad, at least, but right now, I'm not so sure it needs to come out. i'm hoping not to have to do any rewiring once i am done there, I will turn my attention to getting the thing running, original engine, with the original injection. Then once it is running and stopping - then I will go after the exterior, new paint whatever body work is necessary |
