Hey guys another update aside from finding metal chunks in my oil pan I took the opportunity to refresh the stabilizer brackets.

The Filth...

The brackets: (Not the best job but they look better!)

A look inside the engine for the first time. Looks tight though the sprocket and chain for the oil pump are very worn / loose.

Metal filings or may I say chunks? :S

Those are some strange looking brake lines.

Those are some strange looking brake lines.

Looks like the brake lines are covered in hose armor. ala mid sixties FoMoCo power steering hoses.

Yeah I thought about that myself! No idea where those lines came from.

My Webber 32/36 install attempt!

The "new" manifold.

The carb.

Did some polishing on the linkages:

Nikki carb going out:

New manifold going in:

First Problem Noticed: Gap in the #4 cylinder. Placed 2 gaskets in the mean time to seal it.

Carb is on, so is the linkage:

So turns out the carburetor was spewing fuel like crazy out of the accel pump and the gap on the #4 cylinder was not fixed by using the dual gasket's so back to the nikki... Next step new tires and fixing the weber and manifold.

Nikki went back in the car and for some reason it's all screwed up! won't idle or anything at all need to change to something else. I tried looking into the PDSI but it looks bad and I don't have a rebuild kit at hand so I decided to try to tune the nikki to at least be able to move the car and properly repair the 32/36.

The old manifold again:

Super Ghetto Acceleration "U" piece:

Now I'm going to post on a separate topic about this weird number but anyone comes in here and knows what the heck it is let me know!

Checking on the Pdsi:

Dismantled:

Finally able to put it inside the garage:

Picture Updates:

Webber Rebuild.

Soda Blasting:

No the best results yet need to tinker with it a little bit more but very impressive for $20 bucks worth of materials.

Cheapo Cabinet:

You can see where I blasted it its much more bright. Right in the middle.

And the manifold which has the first half almost done, it's hard to take the tiny old stains but it takes the grime off easily. Trickiest parts is keeping the soda flowing correctly.

Cleaning Up the Klippan seatbelts:

Stripping Paint off Wipers:

Stripping the interior to expose the rust.

Hey guys time for a little update.

Have been saving up for parts the car needs major work on the suspension, brakes etc to be road worthy.

Here's some pics of my upgraded soda blasting box:

Soda Slurry Scrubing Results (Thanks Paul!)

Suspension Work underway with Isotrol covering. (Temporary solution just trying to inhibit rust). This is a Swedish paint that you can apply on top of rust and it chemically binds to it.
