My rad and fan arrived yesterday, and I put all the cooling system together. While I had it on the lift, I sprayed some foamy engine brite up there and pressure washed a few pounds of crud and grit off. The car has been neglected for a while, and the mess underneath shows. The new second belly pan is on order, and I've got the belts, and pulleys all on and set.

Everything is set except the batt and the tires and wheels. I'm getting the tires sorted this wknd and maybe start it for the first time on Mon or Tue next week.

Yeah. I just spent a half day on my driver's door handle yesterday. Today is the passenger side. Probably the most complex task that you'll face on these cars, apart from putting on a new convertible top..
