well ive been doing little things here and there. i replaced the metal fuel lines and all the rubber lines.
i drained the gas tank and felt pretty good about how the gas cleaned up but after running it for a bit the filter clogged and i came to the realization that i need to take the tank out sooner than later.

also the motor wont idle. it will run fine if i give it gas but no idle. ive cleaned the idle jet and plugged all vaccum leaks but still nothin. ?

i also tore out the old boat carpet and sub floor so i can build a new one and put down new flooring...

old boat crap, layed over the original flooring... to bad the adhesive used was so strong or i bet it would have been savable

Image

and pulling everything out...

Image

Image

Image

and cleaned up a bit

Image

decided to put down a little something presentable till i build the subfloor and flooring (and it got dark)...

Image

Image

well, ill be back at it soon so updates will follow. and if anyone has any input on my idle prob let me know.
as well looking for the sunvisor clips, 1 cabnet handle, and a faucet pump/tank combo :wink: :wink: .... keep an eye out
