Finally got the car back to IL and started to clean it up. Overall he car is in really good shape. There is virtually no rust on it. Just a very little bit starting to form on the front fender by the hood. The paint is in really good condition but will probably need a new paint job as there are some chips in that that won't be able to touch up since it is 30+ years old. Will need the Recaro seats to be redone and will need a new arm rest. Drained the old gas out of it and then drained the oil which was mostly sludge. Bought sludge remover and put that in the case to help break it up. The mice ate the plug wires and the battery is totally shot. What spark plugs and wires do you guys recommend?
Here are a few picture.

Starting to get some parts in. I was told the heads would be done Monday or Tuesday so hopefully will get those in soon. I am strongly considering taking the case and all the parts I bought to McMark at Original Customs and just have him tear it down and rebuild it. That way I know it will be done correctly the first time. Also he will know if something doesn't look right and can fix it right away.
Also started to clean up and paint some parts to get those ready. The engine tins (as well as many other parts) are painted the original color of the car, 51P Olympic Blue to pay tribute to what it was originally (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i582.photobucket.com-21387-1553376566.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i582.photobucket.com-21387-1553376566.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i582.photobucket.com-21387-1553376566.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i582.photobucket.com-21387-1553376567.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i582.photobucket.com-21387-1553376567.5.jpg) |
