Very nice red breaks. I guess there was some leftover in the can after the fender. Sent these off to Eric at PMB. Will be replacing breaks, bearings and suspension all the way around.

Now I just need to find a factory front swaybar. Anyone have one they are willing to part with?

Steam cleaning today

Few more photos from today

Nice find! Add the Vin to our data base.

Hell hole fixed!

Nice progress, looks like you have a mix of long and short wheel bolts. If you run the fuchs make sure to find a full set of long bolts.

I am considering buying a 75 garage find with only 23K miles on it.

Good for you!

I'd rather have a car that has 123,000 on the odo, but was warm, dry, and driven every year for 42 years. That is much better than a car driven 23k in 3 years, and then stored outside for 40 years in the rain.

What's the history on that 75 garage find with 23k?

Get some paint shot in there before you put it all back together. You can always re do it later, but it's not that hard to do in an engine compartment.

Coming and going. Got the 72 home to complete the body work and prep for paint. Lucas has been busy this week with with the DA sander, stud welder and dent puller.
Sent the wide body out to fix the wheel spacer issue and bent trailing arm. May be able to get both cars to West Coast Rally

My car came off the line 15 cars after yours!

Have not had much time lately to post progress on the car. Repairs made to the minor rust in the hood seal channel.

Driver's side fender had some issues after the bearings froze from sitting so long, and the wheel came off and split the fender. It had been repaired but needed a little help.

Someone had drilled a few holes in behind the bumper for something. Tow hitch?

Dents are almost all pulled.

Put down some primer just to keep any rust from starting while we do the body work.

Just curious...what are the holes the rear trunk lid for?

Ok this car has been stalled too long. I have enlisted the services of Kent at Brosseau's Coachworks in Oregon City. I am hoping to get this car ready for a road trip back to Hershey PA in April.

A few more of Kent's progress on my car

Nice find !

Nice save !

Thank you,
It is in amazing shape and I should have just gave it a tune up and drove it. Oh well, now it will be really nice.

Haven't posted progress on here for a little bit so here is a lot of photos on what's been going on.
I decided to have factory swaybars put in front and rear for the car . This is the progress on that along with the worth coating going on after the work was completed to look like it was installed at the factory.

Next was laying color down in the trunks

Finally Color

Engine bay is all good to go.

and lots and lots of cutting and buffing (over 25 hours worth)

Raptor floor boards (14 hours)

Undercoated the complete car with rubberized undercoating

My rear valance was a little too far gone. PO took it off so he could put on 4 tip monza exhaust. Then left it outside for years. Thankfully Craig and Camp914 is only about a mile from the body shop. Thank you Craig

Cary Kutter freshened up some of the suspension for me. The car will be going to his shop for me to do some work with his guidance. Getting excited to learn from him. Hope to get lots of install photos and possibly videos for the new website that we have been working on forever now. We will be putting in one of our rebuilt steering racks, Stainless steel fuel lines and getting the wiring harness back in place.

Very cool and exciting.

Great color! Keep up the good work!

What was the black stuff they sprayed in the trunk before they painted?
Looks great. I can see why your so anxious to get started.

Tank looks like new. Now I just need to coordinate the bodyshop, the guy I am borrowing the enclosed trailer from and Cary's schedule so we can get to the reassembly.

I have the Fusor version of the same gun. That's what I thought it was, but had never seen the material in black. Thanks.

Some updates
Cary Kutter cam out to the body shop last Saturday with his enclosed trailer and pick up the car. He brought it back to his shop, Middle Motors where we will continue the project. He has been gracious enough to let me work on it on his lift and give me guidance that I will definitely need a lot if. Thank you Cary.

Rebuilding the peddle cluster and replacing everything running through the tunnel.

A few nights a week to get work done, but a lift, all the needed tools and help when needed. I could do this every night

The car is in great shape and all of the nuts and bolts are coming right out with ease. Going to need all new bellows for all the cables in the engine bay. Anyone know where I can get some?

Pulled the factory fuel lines to replace them with new stainless steel lines.

Engine bay ready for some love. Rubberized undercoating or bedliner?

Haven't updated for a little while so here's what has been going on. Found some damage to the bottom of the driver's side suspension. So we (Cary) pulled it to replace with the parts I had him clean up already. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2448492 and http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2450682

With the suspension out. We will freshen everything up. I spent a lot of time in the blasting cabinet

Some cleaning needed

Blasting work

Some parts ready for powder coating
