1966 404 Coupé Injection Restoration

Yes, the colour chip I have (real paint) is very dark, which is interesting because most of the Dark Blue 1057 cars I see photos of are really quite bright blue.

The 404C stays at Coachwerks or Rudi's storage building while we will be away in Japan.  Mike wanted to do some last minute touch ups and ran out of time today.  The touch ups are some minor overspray in a door jamb, a chip on an engine compartment panel that will be covered by vinyl and a couple other small things like that.  Anyway, the weather forecast was for rain tonight and Saturday so bringing her home in that would have not been the best.

Minor work completed a couple of days back: NOS turn indicators mounted. 

Now I have a whole lot of bolt and nut/hardware cadmium plating to get done and I have to organize the parts for remounting.  I will tackle the window winder cable assemblies soon.

I've gone over the harness inch by inch and it is in remarkably good condition.  I replaced a bit of the tape wrapping the trunk harnesses but in no case was the insulation hard, cracked or damaged otherwise.  I removed a non functional spliced in 4 way flasher kit and will patch the insulation where the Scotch locks were applied.  I cleaned the terminals with MolySlip Combat.  It's ready to go, so I need to reinstall it soon.
