Welcome! looks like a pretty comprehensive restoration there, did you do all the work yourself? Plenty of welding on that seat pan then

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.

Impressive range of skills then

And eight to ten hours is at least, well, eight hours more than I managed this week
