Started work on the brakes, missing a few springs in the front, and my brake hoses are rotted, so I ordered the kits with the springs and Dave got me the hoses from NAPA. Once the springs come in this week, we should be finishing the brakes.

Went to install the starter yesterday, but one of the bolts is missing. Luckily NAPA had one in stock. Instead, added wire loom and black spark plug wires. Engine bay is finally clean and organized.

Today, installed starter. This took forever, and not something I would like to do in the near future again. Everything is ready, just need to put in the new battery once I have the car back on wheels. Hopefully everything works when I turn the key.

Quick work

1. Flipped engine covers (and added a new coat of wax), so now they read outward.
2. Replaced old wingnuts with the new ones.
3. Added the new AN fuel line (you can see the red/blue and the silver hose)





Next up: install starter and brakes
