Here is a later pic of the engine


wait, is that the before pic??? Oh... I can't tell...must be because I didn't do anything to it...

Well, I did replace the firewall sponge with the one from the donor car and "liquid nails" it into place.

Here is a closeup of the weld on the bottom of the light bucket. I know it's hard to orient, but the hole in the center is the light bucket drain pipe.

Hey gang,

Just wanted to introduce myself and say cool site. I've been cruising around the site for a few weeks now and I am very impressed by the quality of the posts and members (not to mention the cars!). I have been a member of several other car sites and such a large percentage of posts on those sites were rants, flames or whining. I've seen very little of that here and conversely have been EXTREMELY impressed and inspired by the restoration and modification threads that seem to abound.

You obviously haven't been around long enough yet, that's all.

Welcome to the club!

Wanna sell that steering wheel? Trade for a nice original factory leather wheel?

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

I have to admit, before visiting this group I was satisfied to just slap some bondo on, spray some paint (BC/CC, of course), take care of a few electrical gremlins and be done with her.

After looking at a few rustoration and race car fabrication threads, I don't think I'll be content with anything less than a complete tear down to the tub with a full restoration (my wife will miss me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) ). I'm sure I'll have to find a happy medium but I have plenty of inspiration nonetheless.


Now, I have two questions (feel free to roast if these are "use the search" questions):

1) What are my wheels called? Are they aftermarket or factory?

2) Anyone know where to get affordable seam sealer? I've only seen the $150/tube 2 part stuff which is difficult for me to justify at this point. Any good alternatives for covering new seams?

btw your wheels are commonly known as "westerns". they are not factory, but they are a fine wheel nonetheless. 15x5.5 (same as factory) and 'just about' the factory offset.

Sorry, I LOVE that steering wheel. I assume the factory wheel is GIANT in comparison. I never thought that mine was anything special, though... is it hard to get?

Hello and welcome

Not sure on the wheels, but most try and stay away from seam sealer (it traps moisture = rust). Clean it all out and paint the metal.

Most surface rust (on your headlight bucket) could be sand blasted, treated with POR15 and then painted.

Ha! look at that! 21 posts in only 3 hours! At this rate I'll have 5000 by the end of the year!

Of course, I might shut down our intranet and lose my job...

Shot of the weld seam (with 1 year's worth of rust on it - I know, shame on me, but what can I say... I lived by the ocean and have two kids, 7 months and 2 years...)
