WOW Great work!

 

Nice job, thanks for photo documenting everything. I feel like I have to wash my hands now

had to torch weld a piece of tin in

I love all the oil line work. This is something I would love to do to my car eventually. Same goes for the down-to-bare-metal respray.

What else are you doing? There's a few things you might want to consider doing now that you've got the car this far apart.
-Reinforcing the engine carrier w/ the Rennline kit
-Replacing the timing chain cover gaskets
-Replacing the timing chain tensioner gaskets
-Replacing the oil crossover O-rings
-Valve adjustment job w/ new valve cover gaskets, refinishing valve covers, etc.

 

good tips, i replaced the timing chain tension gaskets and crossover O rings
and i think i will do the chain cover gaskets

 

Attaching my new oil hoses to new cleaned out rad
and lots of parts on the bench

took out the DME and cleaned up the connections & case

 

she's getting primed this week and all is looking good the few rust spots that i had are replaced with new metal at the top of the fenders and one spot at the rear left tail light
spring is coming!

i've had the car in the paint shop since Feb and just got it back last weekend
i'm very happy with the work, original colour

now i have the entire oil system to assemble & a few other things!

lots more pics to come

Best Regards

What a great thread, Glenn. Paint looks superb. Amazon? Love that colour. Just getting into doing my own wrenching and threads like yours are an inspiration; can't wait to get back into the garage.

 

Thanks Amazon Metallic Green i believe is the colour

I replaced the chain tension gaskets and managed to not remove the pulley , after removing the compressor and loosening the compressor mount i could pull it forward just enough to get the right cover off

i will be installing the whole oil system next with new hoses next

best regards
