Time for an update, I could free a day to continue working on the 2+2. I have to say the basis is perfect, just surface rust and absolutely no through rusting (well, maybe one tiny spot, will see when we start removing the paint)
small but cool, Mobil sticker from ´81 with 47.--- something miles in the door
its really funny, I have a 76 coin with the key, and coins from 7x till 83 can be found in the car, then it stops.... so far 1 dollar in change, YES!
As for now, 0.75 over pistons arrived and the engine builder already finishes the head. Didn´t even need to regrind the valves, pressure test came out fine.
the sound deadening starts to bubble but there is no rust undernead. Opened some of them, clear painted metal underneath. Let it sit or rip it out???
the frame is looking good, not even a stuck bolt. I prefer this a lot over a fully rusted Citroen Ds, 5 seconds vs 5 minutes per bolt
I started disassembing a spare 4 speed (courtesy of Dangerdan ^^ ) to mill the bellhousing for a 240sx gearbox, need to keep german autobahn in mind. Small question, if we hear a pressure relief when disassembling the AC, does it mean it still had some R12 left?(hissed for 1-2 seconds). Engine was turning before.
