240dkw Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share #193 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Very nice day so out it came for a bath. I still have to do the bleed the brakes so that is why there are blocks behind the wheels.

240dkw Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share #195 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Just to close out this build thread. I have been driving it for the last while. Fighting a rear end noise, but otherwise running well. It has been a enjoyable, rewarding build. I learned a lot about bodywork and got to know my car quite well. Everyone positive feedback and help has been greatly appreciated.

CanTechZ Posted July 17, 2014 Share #197 Posted July 17, 2014 Very nice work, your attention to detail has been inspiring. I hope to do a similar job to my '70 over the next few years to be complete before our cars hit 50 years old.I was curious about the history of your car, was it a Canadian car?The clutch fan discussion here reminded me of an issue I had back in '83. I heard a strange intermittent ticking and then eventually a thud from under the hood as I was driving on the highway. Well it turned out that my water pump was failing and the intermittent ticking was the fan just contacting the rad as the water pump shaft was walking in and out. The thud was when a fan blade hit the rad to hard, bent over 90° and stuck right into my newly re-cored rad as I was approaching my destination. Luckily I didn't over heat as all of my coolant was on the ground.Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/36693-progress-on-rust-repairs/?page=17#findComment-451760 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cars might of been next to each other on the boat ride over. I don't know much about the car. It was last plated in Grande Prairie and I bought it in Sherwood Park. I think it was always a Alberta car.Dan Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/36693-progress-on-rust-repairs/?page=17#findComment-451798 Share on other sites More sharing options...

240dkw Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share #203 Posted October 2, 2014 Bodyshop finally sent a bunch of photos of the car when it was being painted. A couple of the engine bay and a couple of it undressed, because zKars seems to enjoy them this way.
