You should keep the red theme going by painting the seats, dash, bumpers, and tires.

QUOTE(ghuff @ Jul 21 2009, 09:27 PM)  QUOTE(pktzygt @ Jul 21 2009, 05:22 PM) That gold bar looks like a bumper guard to me. Like a brush guard for a truck. I kid you not, I've seen pics. I believe those are 944 mirrors, but I'm still a noob too. Does anyone else see fiberglass in the 2nd to last pic? If it is, I'll promise you there is something under it that you need to see, but won't want to look. Does the door on the passenger side close smoothly? Door gap even? AutoAtlanta has good diagrams of all the replacement sheet metal but there are plenty of vendors that sell it in the member vendor section of the forum. Is that glass? It looks like cobwebs and dust in the corner of the hell hole. It looks like thick custom patches of sheetmetal in the hell hole, and a lack of engine tray/shelf as well.............. Fab something up to mate with the tin and keep it seperated..... OP: Remove the plugs from the relay panel opposite the battery tray, and then remove the relay panel and clean th metal down there to see how that side is... I was looking just below where the light hits in the pic. |

I'd say drop the engine because it'll be easier to reinstall the cooling tin and the carbs with the engine out.

QUOTE(type47 @ Jul 21 2009, 06:46 PM) Did I read the VIN on this car correctly? It looks like 4702900088 which makes it a very, very early car! Yes and originally signal orange. |

I didn't read it correctly, the VIN is 4702900880 as was in a reply. Still early though.

Hey Jeff, here's a link to my website showing how I replaced the engine shelf (yours is missing), the battery tray and the right rear suspension ear....
