What did you do to your 2002 today !

[dang]

I started my '73tii after years of sitting and watched the Kugelfischer pump o-rings leak.  Yay.  It was expected, but now I'm on the hunt for some non-bend-over-priced o-rings.

Moving to your next post   The thing about fuel seals is that they shrink once the fuel has evaporated.  Often they will re-seal once fuel is re-introduced.   Any chance your seals could be soaked in gas or are they just too square.  I see at trip to Ace or Lowes in your future.

Been there.  These are too far gone and I don't think they're the right material anyway.

Picked up my re-cored original radiator from the shop.

They fitted a new brass plug that can be hand tightened.

Very slick!

Did the metalwork in preparation to take the rear arches. Very happy with the results.

Got the wheels on

Got my main bearing caps all cleaned up, along with a ton of other bits and pieces I didn't get around to taking photos of.


If you guys haven't messed with a product called 'Evaporust', it's badass. Everything I threw into the tub of this shit was almost solid brown with surface rust. Some light, some heavy. After soaking for a day everything was clean and rust free. Nutso.

Knocked out the freeze plugs on the block and replaced them, and for good reason. Several blew through when knocking em out.


I followed this out by masking the block and wiping it down with thinner in preparation for paint tomorrow

Applied a thick coat of turd-laquer to my once rusty donor motor.

She's polishing up nicely

Did the grommets in the doors, along with the window scraper, installed a power lock mechanism, opened up the hole for the speaker (I didn't do the horrible hack job on the doors) so I can fit a better speaker.   I wrapped it all up with soundproofing and new clips.  

 

 

 

what type of soundproofing?

I straightened the kinked LR corner on my '73 "parts car". I need to work on the upper lip of the quarter panel a little more. There's no filler in there, just gentle manipulation of the metal with hammers and dollies. I think a few coats of high build primer and you'll never know it'd been kissed.

After 6 months of a break finally started getting the 320 apart, new LSD and 5 speed for the 2002.
