Thank you sir. I go about the car and find things that I am totally embarrassed to say I did myself. I don't dare show anyone how my vents are attached. A fix is in the works when it warms up a bit.
I really have to balance the detail with getting it back on the road. There is nothing stopping me from just working on it forever and never driving it. Except common sense.
This old girl deserves to really be punished. She's been a naughty girl and now that she's all tarted up she's gonna get a whipping.
Looking forward to complaining about my tire budget. Alas though, I foresee another project coming in the spring that could even top this.

Hey Jason, this looks like something right up your alley.

Boiled the windscreen washer tank in bleach/water tonight. TheBronze helped me out by polishing some bits of it as well. Painted the bracket with good ole Tremclad. I'm amazed at how much of this car I've let get dirty and neglected over the years. Kevin chuckles at it. Car looks good in pictures but up close you see my haste over the years.
So yeah, the tank looks new, the bracket painted up fine. I have the pump here and just tested it (OK) and will need to paint it as well before I put it all back together tomorrow. Have to do this so that I can guesstimate where the PAS pump will go.
Right now the tank is sitting in the dishwasher getting a workover. Just to make it REALLY clean. Install that tomorrow, fab my PAS pump bracket and find out why the EEC computer is bonkers. It's getting close to firing it up...

Today:
Took out my brake bias valve and hammered the knob off the top and installed a summit racing balance bar knob on it. Had to turn it on the lath and reseal it. So yes, I have an in dash brake bias knob now.
Dummy mounted a 92 tempo trans cooler in place of the stock PAS cooler since the stock cooler now won't fit with my new rad and the Aeroquip fitting coming off it. Not that cooling power steering fluid is a big deal, but it was a good junkyard find. Dummy fit will turn into fitted when I get two 90deg fittings for it to hug the chassis rails out of the way and looking clean. Ran out of aluminum flat bar today so I couldn't mount it proper. Friday!
Been getting lots done lately. Car runs, fuel pressure, engine is almost back and tidied. Very excited.

I want more details on brake bias please.

No Volvos to be found a the junkyard?pacwest wrote:Dummy mounted a 92 tempo trans cooler in place
That Tempo one looks about the same size as the Volvo one I have (whatever the hell it's original function was). The nice thing about the Volvo one is that it's got eight 6mm captive nuts built in (two on each corner), so you wouldn't neccessarily need to fab' a bracket to mount it. No biggie - seems like you've got a plan.
But where's the nipples on that Tempo cooler? Usually I'm pretty good at finding those.
