Hi everybody,
in the meantime i grinden out the old Primer/rust/dirt mix on the floor panel.
Today i gave it a por 15 coat.
The difference is realy impressive with a clean surface and one stage more with the primer on.

I hope i can take a ride the next weeks

and the seat adjuster newly plated.

Now i am waiting for the ordered stainless steel fuel lines.
I am thinking on relocating the fuel pump. I can´t get a working old style pump, and the new stile didn´t fit in the engine compartment .

Great work man!

My fuel pump is up front, I'm not sure that I like it up there, but we'll see. As soon as I turn the key, I can hear it running...SHOULD it be like that...I don't know.

I *DO* know that your car is looking fantastic. Have a 'Goal Date' in mind to drive her?

Thanks for the flowers,
but your work is also impressive . After i saw your paint job i decided to try this part too.
I think you can hear the pump anyway front or rear for a couple of seconds.
Goal for driving is asap.
To get the engine in, i have to paint the engine bay. Don´t want to pull the engine a second time to get this done.
Tie coat primer arrived last week, and i have to buy some (adriatic-) blue paint to complete this part.
I think the compartmment is a nice practice ground.
So i think first drive out could be end of june?! Hope so.

When didi you drive yours again?

Hello all,
this weekend i removed the poorly repaired engine bay hinge on the driverside.
the hood was about 5 mm lower then on the other side. Someone has used some solder instead of welding the broken part .

the passenger side, also rusted but in good shape.
Have only to clean it.

driver side out of the car

and here is the new one. look much stronger than the part i drilled out. I think it is not an OEM part

welded in

last week i drilled the holes for the front sway bar.
this weekend i cutted out the sheet metal to put in the reinforcement plates.

Driver side.

You can also see the new cable for the relocated fuel pump.

passenger side

cutting the opening

without the plate

Where are you getting the new fuel lines from?

Are you going to paint over the por15 that you applied on the interior floor boards?

Keep up the great work.

Plate welded in and the hole closed

same procedure on passenger side

Did your car have the original factory swaybar upfront?
