This was a pretty hectic weekend for me, it was a 3 day weekend for us up in Canadia.. so I had to do some much-needed maintenance on the daily driver... ball joints, wheel bearings, rotors, pads, axle seals, diff oil... holy crap, 14 hours over two days on the street.. I need a bigger garage!
However I did get a bit of meaningful progress done on the car, started and accomplished maybe 80% of the heater-core-delete cover plate, just need to grind the edges smooth and paint it black...
My wonky-*** trimming job, as well as decades of previous owners drilling random holes in the firewall...
Getting closer to a final shape...
Marked the hole I trimmed as well as the existing holes, so that I don't end up putting a rivnut in a place that there's no sheetmetal!...
Two of the mounting holes were right next to the head, which meant I couldn't use the rivnut gun. Sure I could've done this before I put the engine in, but that would've made things too easy. A vicegrip on the rivnut and an allen key on a screw compressed the rivnut easily enough....
Rivnut pattern all laid out, now just to paint the panel and re-install.... then start making exhaust!
Wow thanks for sharing!
