QUOTE(StratPlayer @ Jun 13 2008, 10:18 AM)  Found me a NOS case, built a 2.0 EFI, 96mm p/c. Powdercoated all the tin, air cleaner. Slapped it in the car and it runs like a champ. No oil leaks, peppy little car now. How much did the rebuild end up costing you Jim? |

I repainted the inside, front trunk, and fuel tank compartment of my car. There was a lot of surface rust. Por15, new tar on the driver's side floor, primer/sealer, then single stage Marathon Blue. I've done so many things to this car, but this was the most time consuming for me. Here are some shots of the floor:

Everytime I complete a weekend project, it just gets better. A couple of month's ago - fixing all of the oil leaks. Last weekend - rebuilt the pedal cluster.
It just gets more fun to drive every month! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

So far, the absolute most satisfying thing that I've done to my car was when I brought it home and put it in the garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I guess at this point, it's been restoring the flapper boxes. Not a real big deal, and I'm sure there will be much more satisfying points yet to come, but it's one more thing that I can say "yeah, it's original" and it doesn't matter who you are or what you own, keeping a classic car original is a very satisfying thing. It's something to be proud of.
... Well, okay, I guess technically I can't say they're the original boxes, because I don't know that for sure, but judging by what they looked like when I started, it seems a good bet. Either way, it's still something I can say "yeah, I did it." |
