I also decided to quickly remove the grill for a quick paint in gloss black.Also painted the side "vents"? in matt black to match the matt black steelies before heading for home.
I will sell the car with a spare grill so new owner can get the grill "professionally" painted.It was good enough for me.
Also bled the front drum brakes.The weight at the back helped alot with the braking haha.
This is the model with the charcoal canister.Previous owner had changed carby and its original manifold.He had also disconnected some wiring.I tried tightening the four bolts on the base of carby but that gasket was still leaking..
Car was also driving and behaving as a turbo car with lag.So it would hesitate to accelerate then all of a sudden just really get going.Car also had its gearbox thrust bearing gone as it was very noisy.Clutch was also on its way out.
Previous owner had just finished body work and about to start on its mechanicals when he sold it.Even so,Engine,gearbox and diff feel very good and strong.
anyway a couple of progress pics.
