Its getting a bit chilly so I decided to put the bodywork on hold and start restoring
some of the smaller assemblies. I started working on the cooling/air conditioning
and lighting systems.
Here is a picture of the driver side and light assembly before I started working
on it.
I'm not completely done yet because I'm waiting for parts, however, it's mostly
back together. I'm not going to be able to completely finish it because I'm going
to wait to do the headlight door when I do the rest of the bodywork.
I've also disassembled and clean up my gauge cluster. It was completely taken apart
and cleaned. The needles were faded so I ordered some replacements from Modern Day
Muscle but I'll need to wait until the cars back together to calibrate the cluster.
The red warning decals were also faded to a pink color. I had some network cable
label sticker material so I printed out new red stickers on a color laser printer.
They turned out rather well although it's hard to tell from picture.
Luckily, my radiator fan and housing did not have a nicks or scratches, I did need
to order a new fan motor because the old one was faded and rusty. Once clean, I
used a few coats of Vinylex to restore the factory finish.
