Now to tackle the loose clutch tube bracket midway down the tunnel.. in this pic a small section of the tunnel has been peeled back and my pen is pointing to where the bracket snapped, and pulled the tube towards the front of the car.

Bracket realigned and rewelded… I didn’t shoot a pic but I rewelded the tube to the inside of the rear firewall, the correct length exposed now. All is VERY solid! Well, I will need to address the typical clutch tube repair at the front of the tunnel, but that’s for later..

Thanks guys! Clay I look forward to having you out at some point.. want to show you my Volvo 1800E too, it’s shoe-horned in between the house and the fence at the moment tho.

I got around to thoroughly coating the interior of the tunnel, the area between the rear firewalls, and longs (as much as possible) - with Eastwood’s Internal Frame paint.

I attached the flexible nozzle to a long flexy thin rod which was helpful in getting the paint where it needed to be. The nozzle sprays the paint in a radial fan pattern.

I’ve got this stuff running out of the longs but could only do so much with the heater tubes installed. Still though I think I got it in the most significant areas, around where the firewalls intersect. Here’s the tunnel, topside.

Wanted to polish off a bottle .. no, not that kinda bottle - welding gas! So I did some preventative work to the hinge brackets, both sides (engine lid to body).

Does anyone know if there is a reference measurement for the rear deck lid hinge mount… mine as all over the place on the passenger’s side. Looks like it’s been moved a couple of times and I want to weld it in, get rid of those screws .. take a look and advise please:

I am NOT a body man, I pay to have this done. But I was told by Richard Fisher that he puts the hinges on the lid and puts the lid in place, with the seal, then he tacks the hinge in place. That way everything fits correctly before the welding is done.

Hope that helps.

Rusted through areas of the floor and firewalls are officially replaced. We have fresh clean metal there and buttoned up now - feels like a bit of a milestone.

I used the internal frame paint (shown earlier) as weld thru primer between the floor and tunnel/firewall sections, which is high in zinc and worked out great. I welded these panels on the outside of the car as well as the inside.. probably over kill but at least I can say it’s thoroughly done.

Thanks, I set myself a paint date goal of mid- October.. so that’s my motivation as of late.

Ok so I installed the external seat supports .. coated the internal side with internal frame paint.
