Doing my fronts to match my Frankenhaar rear seat project….  Fronts are new gummihaar from WN made by ‘Johnson Controls’.  Nice to have new padding and get rid of the crunch!

 

 

Beautiful seats, love this cloth!

im surprised that someone hasn’t produced these pads in a foam or other material that could reproduce fit, feel and performance of the old type of pad. The W&N prices for the pads ain’t cheap! The pads alone would cover the cost of reupholstering my Recaros!

Look what FedEx just dropped off ...

 

 

It's 94 today and just about got a heat stroke bringing it into the garage.

I'll wait till the sun goes down to unpack and assemble.

wired in a second power socket for a bluetooth transmitter and made a solid shifter with no bullshit rubber involved

My buddy finally found the center caps to my Axis wheels. Brand new still in the package. Nice to get them and put on the car, one less thing to search for.

I did this, my seals were both bad. Oil was nasty, but the innards all looked to be in very good condition, with a few threads left on the adjustment screw.

wow, seeing everybodys' amazing work on their cars has really motivated me to get my '75 02 back on the road.

soon as I can get that transmissions replaced.

but today, as lame as it is, I changed out a burnt light bulb on the right rear taillight.  #89 (Sylvania 5008)  10W

Took the ratrod out in the sun ?

Still plugging along patching holes and getting it ready to mount to a diy rotisserie. I moved it into the garage so working on it isn’t unbearable for the neighbors and I.

When you want to fix that hole under the windshield without taking it out or cracking it getting the metal too hot.  
 

1. Shape a piece of steel to match the curve

2. fit it. 
3. drill holes

4. spot weld one

5. let the steel cool

6. Slowly repeat 4 & 5 until complete 

7. prep for fill.  
 

fugly but functional

@PapaG, nice work. Where did you get your rebuild kit?

[David Layton]

Nothing with a 48 year old car is a clear-cut as planned.  Local body shop had a Glasurit sample made of 041 Atlantik and he sprayed a scrap fender.  This should match, right?  It is too dark compared with the original paint.  My  thought on this is whatever tints BASF uses today are different from those in 1973.  The second picture shows a bit of that fender sample, the rusting fender pulled from my car with a bit too light a shade of blue and the can used to paint the engine bay in 2019.  That paint was nearly spot on to a 1970 color chip I had from Glasurit.  So, I will get another pint of this paint, paint a metal panel and let the body shop owner use his spectrometer.  We will be using a BASF R-M paint on the car.

Everything in the pic is 45 years old. The kit had a new gasket, new sector shaft nut and locking plate, and two new seals. From WN.
