Busy first day and I only had limited time since my Son came home from College today. (havent seen him in months so he gets all my attention while here).
BUT I did manage to get one hell of a first day in before he got here cleaning up the mess under the hood.
The Chrome Valve Covers and T Bolts were rusted to chit
The engine wiring was a real mess
The Battery Tray was some home made piece from a lawn mower
A wiper arm needed attention
And it was filthy dirty and really fugly under there
And a Turquoise underside hood (car was Gold guess hood was changed)
And new front shocks with old and missing rubbers ??? (fixed that too)
Nothing to write home about but a world of difference to how it looked this morning and a good start...
Motor, Mess & Hood Underside
"BEFORE"
"DURING"
"AFTER"
It Clean up nicely considering what I started with
Couple of cool Mods
No show piece thats for sure but for 42 years old so far I havent found anything rotted or butchered and I think I have a good foundation for a nice work in progress that I can use while improving.
Only took it out to go around the corner once or twice because I had the wiring apart all day and I had to call it a night but so far so good
