grannyknot Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share #110 Posted June 21, 2021 I bought the headliner pre-made from a place on ebay, they also include a big sheet of extra fabric for the AB and C pillars, I even got the parcel self covered as well. It fits pretty well, there are some stitching irregularities but once I can get the car out into the sun I think most of that and a few wrinkles relax. That is the first headliner I've done where it hangs from steel bows, steep learning curve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namerow Posted June 22, 2021 Share #111 Posted June 22, 2021 I hadn't noticed before that your shop equipment includes two axes, a hatchet, and a crowbar. Mixed in with your vintage 50-lb anvil, that's a powerful combination . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted June 22, 2021 Share #112 Posted June 22, 2021 I noticed the axe collection too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteunseen Posted June 22, 2021 Share #114 Posted June 22, 2021 I've got a couple of sledge hammers and maybe 6 wedges. Please get them from me. I'll leave them in the front yard propped up by the mailbox. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannyknot Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share #115 Posted June 22, 2021 Hard to be a good quality axe, the 1st one is a heavy and tall, that's the splitting axe, 2nd is a Timber framers hatchet, 3rd is my brother's old practice throwing axe, he use to perform in those logging shows in the Pacific NW, 4th one is just a nice all round general axe, 5th is a very old Adz used for squaring up timber beams, the 6th pick is a Timber framer's slick, also used in old time ship building, basically a 2 handed chisel, great fun to use. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namerow Posted June 23, 2021 Share #116 Posted June 23, 2021 So, rightfully, your next restoration project should be a Morgan. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grannyknot Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share #119 Posted June 26, 2021 I got the engine started today! Couple of problems though and would appreciate any help. The engine is a 4cyl 2.4L KA24DE from a 1991 240sx, fuel injected, standard distributor with one ignition coil. The engine won't start by turning the key, I have to turn the key to ON and use a remote hand switch connected to the starter? Once the engine has started the revs seem normal until the engine starts warming up then the revs slowly climb to 1500-2000 and the revs cycle up and down, not hunting, the up/down cycle is predictable. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted June 26, 2021 Share #120 Posted June 26, 2021 My d21 pickup did that too. It was the vacuum hoses that hook up right beside each other, 4 side by side if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
