Bits and pieces

Evening folks,

I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves today.

Bad seal around the air filter 'snorkel',  will need a replacement as it lets dirt into the intake.

The data plate was coming loose so I cleaned the area up and riveted it down

More damage from jacking the car up in the wrong spot, was able to straighten it up so that it would be hard to tell.

An area of concern, an antifreeze leak, hopefully it's just a bad hose connection but the worst case would be the pipe going through the bulkhead.  That's a realy big deal as one has to remove the wiper rack and getting them in the bulkhead is easiest with the engine out-Noooooo!

In the process of replacing the rubber gator, will be trying to get the cover lower so that the gauge panel will be able to be opened.

The old gator, perished as the English would say

Hopefully the gearbox cover has been adjusted so that the fuse/instrument panel can be dropped down as intended by the factory.

The new rubber gator

Other things done today, painted the firewall area, should be able to start reassembling the components on the firewall next week.  Looked at why the switch plate was loose-the screws that holds it in have broken out of the plastic.  Hate to replace it, someone else has tried to glue it in but not very successfully.  Will look at it again at a later date but gluing it may be the only way to fix it short of replacing it.

Will be off till next week so hope you all have a great weekend, see you next week.

Cheers,

Lynn
