Interior Sheet Metal
Floors
Original sheet metal in many spots was really not that bad.
Lots of grease, undercoating, and acoustic sealant.
Original copper rivet holding asbestos board to floor panel.
Time to clean up the originals and do a trial fit.
They were much more poorly built, but the new ones were not that far off the originals.
The new floors did not fit well, so I thought I’d dust off the originals and compare them size for size.
Fit was fairly similar to new floors.
Trial fitting of original drivers side floor.
New sheet metal floors from vendor’s website.
The new floors did not fit well.
And of course a few of the captured nuts were had broken machine screws still in place and had to be removed.
Clean Transmission
Clean Handbrake
I had done a cleaning of the handbrake mechanism a long time ago as it was not working when I got the car. It worked when I started taking the car apart. In the intervening years the grunge had been a bit mischievous and the handbrake was not working aging.
Still needs work.
