Well its been over 33 years that I have owner this car as the 3rd owner.
I have finally broken down and am getting the surface rust repaired and having the car fully resprayed. I am told it should be ready by Mid August. The car was torn down this week and the good news is that after 33 years of mud and dirt in the rockers that there is no rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Surprising, as the car first came in to the country in Chicago and wound up spending time in San Francisco before I got it. The rest of the car had a few rust bubbles at the base of the windshield and on the passenger door along with the usual dents and dings that come with keeping a car in a garage with little kids opening the car door next to it or traveling the So Cal freeways and picking up misc. road debris impacts. The car is going to stay its' original color "Ancona Blue" along with all of the appearance group finishes. As progress continues I'll continue to update.Thanks for looking. |

Removed the rest of the interior pieces, handbrake, seatbelts, front foam block runner carpets.
Was not able to make it to the Phoenix Club today since I still dont have everything back in the car, but made a lot of progress yesterday, while it was raining outside. installed 914Ruber vinyl Kit, installed 914Rubber german material salt and pepper carpet kit w/ their black anodized door carpet trim (replacing the old plastic ones), installed my refurbed back pad. reattached seat belts, installed repainted seat brackets, reinstalled repainted e-brake lever and couple minor door rubber window trim pieces. Still have door cards/armrests, sound deadener in the doors, center console, center seat pad/storage, front bulkhead perlon and the seats to go. The finish line is getting close.
