Phase II Progress - Dashboard and Steering, Interior Sound and Heat Shielding, Door Assembly, Fuel Tank, Heater, Carborator

Sorry for it being so long since the last post. I have been busy. I have just found it more fun to be working on the car than writing about it. I have finished the dashboard wiring and installation of the steering column and steering wheel. All pedals are in, all of the hydraulics are bled and ready to go. I still have heat and sound shield to install in the floor under where the seats go and in the doors. Moss had a 20% off sale and I ordered the complete interior, new seat covers and foam, plus the carpet set. Those will be the last things to go in.

 

Gas Pedal. Brake and clutch are all connected and ready to go.

 

I started the door assembly witch entails installing the door handles and locks, window crank assembly, the window itself, new rubber and felt trim pieces and new rubber around the quarter lights. That's what the Brits call a wing window. Held up now waiting for a rubber seal that is back ordered.

 

 

 

 



 I installed the fuel tank and just got the new aluminum fuel line. Will be running the line and installing a new fuel pump soon.

 

The Heater Fan and box are all refurbished wired up and installed. All hoses are connected now so the cooling system is ready to be filled up.

Finally, Take a look at the weber installed! Note the progress on the engine wiring. The starter solenoid, coil, distributor with electronic ignition, starter, and generator are all installed and wired up. I am also waiting on one more oil cooler hose so I can seal the engine oil system and fill it. You can see the new FRAM orange oil filter if you look right below the generator. Off to a graduation party now.
