Over the winter more and more small projects.

Rewired the new tub, buy bulbs, clean contacts, clean grounds.

Everything now works, except the door/ignition buzzer. But I'm just going to leave it off, as I never have liked a buzzer.

Still have various interior bulbs to replace, but she slowly regaining some of her dignity and former glory.

All brake hoses have been replaced and the master cylinder was rebuilt. BUT while replacing the MC one of the seals developed a leak, bubbling the brand new paint on the shelf...ARGGH!

One more spot to fix.

New muffler, went on without a hitch, re-re-built the carb, could not for the life of me figure out why it had to have full choke to continue rumming...
Finally covered the carb throat with my hand and it reved to high heaven. AHHH, leak somewhere.

Come to find out the intake manifold had a stripped stud. creating a difficult to find air leak. rethread the stud, torque down the nuts, and WOW, she'll idle.
and rev. and come back to idle.

Purchased new seat upholstery from an e-bay vendor.
They are very high quality and I'm very pleased. re-foamed the old buns, hog ringed the covers on and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.

New carpets from e-bay, were not as straight forward.
Stitched, not molded. The carpet would lie flat on the passenger side , then not reach the driver's sill, or lie flat on the driver's side and not reach the passengers sill. The ONLY option was to split the brand new carpet down the center of the hump, hide the cut under the armrest and "hump cover" and STREEEETCH.

Now to re-vinyl the armrest, hump cover and install.

New seat belts, also from e-bay. They are manual 3 point belts. the inner is just a bit too long, but the outer is perfect. The plan is to shorten the inner, by a few inches and restitch in the original pattern.

By in large the interior is almost complete. And looking pretty snazzy. It needs a glove box, and a few bulbs, and I'm looking for a rear view mirror w/ mount.

I'm still not satisfied with the road wheels, I had painted them dark, almost black, grey. The blend with the faded black of the tires and doesn't look right.
I'm going to go with argent (silver grey) and black hub caps.

One day I'll actually have to take some pics.
