Default The Good, the Bad and the Ugly



good nice paper trail



good $1800 in carpet, felt rubber and full interior kit



bad passenger side tank open to elements



ugly PO's pile of unmarked hardware, etc. found under the good stuff. Bowls and baggies! Really!?


Let the fun begin! Got it home and in the garage just before the first winter rain. Thanks to my son's help we pulled and pushed it up hill into the garage. Charlie! YOU DA MAN!

don't throw anything away. You will need it.

the gas tank cap you can order from SNG Barrat USA store. Also order two rubber seals for the tank drain bolts at the bottom.

you can clean it in place with a garden hose and good water pressure after you remove the drain bolt, and the Sender assembly. Then replace every thing, and fill with 87 octane. Add a bottle of STP conditioner.

Great stuff, I got a similar pile of bits in the 2 cars I have, but 2 years later, I can probably identify almost every bolt.

These restorations do give you a very close understanding of the cars, and where would the fun be if it were all labeled !!!
