Hey your doing a great job, love the pics I wish I had the time to document my car like you are doing, but I never seemed to have the time. Looks like your starting off with a nice solid car, it will save you a ton of money in the long run, keep up the good work. By the way what color are you painting it.

Thanks, the silver paint is Seymour's Stainless Steel on some parts and the license plate holder I used Eastwood's Galvanized paint.

Thanks, much appreciated. I only have the time because I probably won't have body and paint done for at least another year so I'm taking my time with the small things. I'm going back and forth on color but I'm leaning toward B5 Blue or Y9 Tawney Gold Poly.

Rust Bullet

Applied the first coat this past Sunday and used about half of the one gallon container; I did the engine compartment, the interior, tail panel and most of the trunk, I used a sponge roller.

After:






Few more:

Did a little fender clean up as well.

old Walmart primer which wasn't the best idea:


Not looking too bad:


Fun stuff, not too bad to get off and the metal is perfect underneath:


Fast foward and I realize that I will not be able to get into all the nooks and crannies so I decide to take my pair of fenders to Technostrip (www.technostrip) which is close by here in Brampton, Ontario. $300 for the pair, came out really nicely and just so nice to see so clean. Here are a few shots:

First:


Second:

Dash:

Front Speakers:

Still doing little things here and there, saw some other members doing this so I thought I would give it a try as well. Bought the two speaker template from 74 Sport (Jerry).



Bought a pair of 3.5 Infinity speakers:


Painted the bracket and removed the plastic ring from the speakers:


Backside:

Have the k-frame kicking around the garage so I thought I would start sprucing it up a bit. Unfortunately I did not loosen the front nuts on the strut rod when they were attached to the LCA's and on the car. This makes it a bit more difficult to keep the rod from spinning when turning the nut.



Did a search on the topic and read about the idea of using a torsion bar tool, have one of those, now I have a second use for it.



Tightened it and stepped on it with my 245lbs and turned.

Success



I purchased Moog kit K7026, but I think I may end up just buying the bushings and re-use my original parts. Yes these are the originals that were on there.

Door Hinges
My door's have never closed (hinged) correctly and I was never really sure what part(s) I may be missing for the hinges. One side had a roller the other didn't, one side had the little piece the roller rolls on and the other didn't and the hinges were just loose.

Many years ago I bought the door pin and bushing repair kit from the local parts store (Canadian Tire) and had it laying around, then I thought I may need something better. so I purchased the Door Hinge Pin Kit you see on the right in the first picture.



Bought the drill bit and gave it a shot, had a hard time with the drill bit and then gave up. Figured I would bite the bullet and get the hinges rebuilt instead of buying the new AMD hinges. Searched around with what others were saying and decided on SMS.



Here they are cleaned up and lubed and the rods and rollers look very solid, better than originals.

When received:


lower hinges:


Upper hinges:


Close up of pin:


Another view:


Lower installed:


Upper installed:


My car is nowhere near ready and I only installed the doors to get them out of the way but it's nice to see the doors open and stay open and close smoothly.

Rear Defogger
Rather simple just took apart, soaked some parts in Evaporust and others I stripped and repainted. The finish may not be exactly correct but in my opinion looks better.

Here is the car on the way to our new downsized house. Where am I gonna put everything, lol.



Arriving, was fun watching it "drive" down the road.



Currently looking for someone local to take the car on for body work and paint, finding it a bit challenging. Will talk to a couple of shops next week before the Canadian long weekend Thanksgiving.

Waiting patiently...


Safe and sound  :2thumbs:

A few pics of the car after being stripped and coated with some sealer primer.

First day of spring, thought I'd take a trip out to the shop.

Here she is sitting next to a rare Ford.



Primered inside and out, bottom stripped of all undercoating (what was left) and primered.

Just two little pin holes on the drivers side rear lower quarter.



Well you can see the mistake from my youth, 5 spoiler leg support holes instead of 4.  :brickwall: Will be welded instead of electrical tape being there.
