Good job on starting the tear down.

How about getting your camera programed for the proper date so it is not off over half a decade! :hillbilly:


Here are some more out of date pictures of what I got done today w:pw . Only thing left that I can see is body to pan bolts.

I have lots of holes to patch from A/C it had at some time.
Image

I really do not like the idea of the brake fluid resevoir being in the trunk and destroying the paint after it is painted if it leaks.
Image

Had these for a couple years. Pop outs will be going in on the rebuild.

You can get a volvo style reservoir for your master cylindar and that will get it out from under the hood.

The heater hoses are not a problem, I removed all the heater stuff when i first got it. it has J tubes. I am going to gut the doors as well. All the seals and felt are pretty well dry rotted. Just need to get the body off and up on the saw horses to give my self some room to work again in the garage. Those saw horses are killing my space!

That is the route I need to take for sure! I can see where the old one leaked in my trunk before and it has lots of rust in that area.
