6/17/2009:

Need to replace alternator (again!) this week.  Also, a new exhaust is on the short list as well as a new heater control valve.

Pictures from a recent outing:

July 4th Weekend 2009

Decided to spend a bit of time working on the floorboard rust.  I cheaped out and used a two POR-15 surface prep after wire brushing the rusted areas.  I patched the holes with fiberglass and painted with POR-15 paint.  At least this will stop the exhaust fumes and soggy carpeting.

Carpet and the rest of the updated interior will go back in this week.

Nice car you've got there. I think I've seen it on Turbobricks! You should check out my 164 project, I only wish mine was as nice.

This looks like a real diamond in the rough. Once you got it cleaned up it looks great! I'm looking forward to watching your progress, 5 Stars
