don't tease us with 2 doors :sob:

why? do you not have them there?

Nope, Aussie got all the shit versions of everything.

We got the 2 doors, but it came with the 3KC engine instead of the 2TC, so it was really underpowered

I meant 2 door *E7*'s.

sorry missed the context.

I have FINALLY finished the carb. What a pain in the butt that thing was. I feel like I know the thing well now. My car now idles and drives nicely now. next I will need to tackle some distributor issues and vacuum lines. I can't seem to find a chart that matches my current set up. Perhaps it is all wrong.

This is what It looks like. Any help is greatly appreciated.

HE LIVES!

The carb is done. the distributor is functioning. I can drive it down the road without having to tow it back using the dodge.

I just noticed, I haven't shared the images of my seats and rims. The seats are newly ulpustered with extra padding. Boy are these things comfy. They match my car quite well so i snagged them even though I wanted black. (it was a 1/2 off day at the pick a part).

Picked these off a Celica Supra for $49. they are in overrated condition other than the little scuff we put in them while taking them off. Id mount them now, but the tire is way too wide. 235 wide is a bit much for what I'm after.

Excellent price on those wheels, they go for $300 plus per set over here.

wow. I kinda knew I stole them.

I got the seats for $60. I got both front with sliders / stands, and the back seat.

Did some work in the trunk (boot) today. I pulled everything out and gave it a good cleaning. Found some rust in the spare tire area and ground it out with a wire wheel. I am not sure what the best thing is to do with all the tiny holes, so I just hit it with some rust sealer until I figure out what to do with it.

 

 

TADA! Thoughts or comments appriciated.

Thanks. ill have more of the interior when I get the new seats in.

I started to buff my 36 year old paint with various rubbing componds and waxes. I used an electric buffer, and worked for over an hour on an easy part of the car (trunk / boot lid). After what little was achieved I gave up on restoring the paint and figured if it would take that kind of effort i might as well just prep and paint it. With a little more time to work on the car I started another project. Pics will give you a hint:

Ill have some time tomorrow so ill just see how far I get.
