951 winter progress

Thanks for the info Newman, I’ll look into it. The car also has a 20 gallon fuel tank (oh, I lost 2 gallons of fuel capacity :() so the fuel cooling with under 10 gallons at low rpm may be a moot point.

Today’s update, got a TON done today, started working with suspension and went from there.

Motor mounts and steering rack install, after cleaning up the steering shaft and greasing the u-joints.

That was hung up though by a snapped off bolt in the 3 piece crossmember where the steering rack bolts up. As I bought the piece “slightly” used it wasnt a huge deal, just about 40 minutes of drilling and using easy outs.

Started stripping the interior out again, removed the HVAC (which was full of leaves and what not, see the following photo) Started working on the wiring. I talked with my wiring guy (haha, my father) and he’s going to help me create a new harness for the car, it’s basically going to retain lights, wheel stalks, cooling fans, gauges, and that’s about it. So we’re removing the factory fuse box.

Nasty HVAC stuff, weighed in at 33lbs.

So yeah, that’s about it for today, I did do some underbody stripping in the rear of the car, but nothing to make note of. Probably going to attack the wiring again tomorrow.
