April 2, 201411 yr Author comment_444844 Spent the day installing the front windshield. It worked out well, fingers are sore but no cuts in the rubber or my hands so I would call it a success.

April 7, 201410 yr Author comment_445220 Blue: I had no problems with getting the corners in. Finally got to install my new door panels. One more day and the inside will be done. Only big item left is the motor. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/36693-progress-on-rust-repairs/?&page=16#findComment-445220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 12, 201410 yr Author comment_445652 Well, hit another milestone today. Motor all tucked in and I think it is happy to be home. I have had a few days over the last few years thinking this day would never arrive. I hope to not start any threads about no spark/fuel/idle/weird noises, but cannot promise anything.

April 20, 201410 yr Author comment_446185 I did just that after your post. I seem to remember that when we were out your way I called and you were stranded with a coolant leak while test driving a car.

April 20, 201410 yr comment_446189 yup. I had ~ 650mi on the car with the rebuild just broken in and was just starting to readline it for the first time to tune the carbs. The hose popped off at its first redline... initially surprising then messy more that anything Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/36693-progress-on-rust-repairs/?&page=16#findComment-446189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
