GUESS WHAT, THE CAR IS PAINTED :yaayy:
Well actually it has been painted for a few weeks now, just been too busy putting it together.
Once I got the car back, it did not start so easy. I renewed the fuel pump, but it did not help
and actually there was one loose connection in the new fuel line and it sucked air
from that. Once that was solved and fuel start flowing, I lost the spark. And eventually
it turned out that the coil was dead. After changing that the engine started running smoothly
after 2,5 years of break.
Well, pretty soon it started to smoke from the exhaust and there was a lot of red fluid on
the floor....
The other transmission cooler line had a hole in it:
So I had to redo also those (probably the only line that was NOT done yet ):
Then when putting the other line into its place, I noticed that the flare nut was not straight. Took it
off and noticed that I had managed to destroy the threads on the fitting...
And those fittings
are not easy to find from Finland. There was one place, should be in post today. But if the flare nut
is bad too, then I have a problem. Those nuts are nowhere to be found in Finland. Already
found one set in Ebay in Canada for 20$, I ordered that set just in case.
But even though the car does not run now because of those "little" challenges,
I have had plenty to do. I've been working with the interior, especially seats. The back seat frame
was a bit rusted, and required some new sheet metal:
All the wiring has been done and everything works as they should. The frontend
looks like Fury again:
And back too:
