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 |

By the way, I would suggest what others have here. Check those areas carefully. If the car is severely rusted, spending money on the interior is like putting lipstick on a pig.
I'd also suggest doing all of the mechanical work first. A nice interior is something to be proud of, but you can enjoy the car on the road with a ratty interior. Large portions of that interior will be coming out while performing all kinds of mechanical work, I'd personally wait until the car is all sorted out before tackling the i passenger compartment. |
