Welcome! looks like a pretty comprehensive restoration there, did you do all the work yourself? Plenty of welding on that seat pan then :shock: Is that an aircon line I see there? I can't believe 30-year old aircon is still gas-tight and working, is it?

thanks, yes all work by me with guidance from the body & paint guy at work. Final paint will be by him. Engine bay getting put off for now, but will get stitched and painted before I finish. I've removed all sound material and am currently "pulling weeds" in the wiring, I want all unwanted/not needed stuff pulled and am pre-wiring for the FI conversion. I average a whopping 8-10hrs a week to the project, so work is slow.


-edit-
forgot to add, yes the aircon still works! gassed it up and proceded to hang meat! also my parts car for the project is a loaded gs (mine was a base) so naturally all the stuff is now in my car-lighted driver key hole, map light,remote hatch release

Hi there Michael. Your previous 7s will have prepared you well for all that was hidden in this brown gem.
