    Only 5 pics per post?

    New trans seals, flywheel, clutch, TO, Giubo flex joint, driveshaft rebuilt, new motor mounts, battery cables, fuel tank cleaned and sealed, new pickup and float, fuel pump, all suspension bushings new.


    Original Webers refurbished by Gordon Raymond. They look brand new, crazy. All passages drilled out and replugged, casting repaired, floats tested.


    Fuel filter and pressure regulator by me...


    A mile of brake line, new master cylinder, front-rear balancing valve. The '67s with Dunlops never had this, I'm switching the whole system over to Ate, including the new 4.56 rear axle.



    A pretty, but somewhat unknown limited slip Ate axle. I'm putting in new parking brake cables and hardware. Pinion seal, etc. But I didn't open it up. Came from a well-known guy in Seattle with vintage Afas and Ferraris, so I'm making some assumptions.

      I snagged a set of 6x15 banded original wheels, done by a good machine shop in NC in the 70s . Still have the tags inside, I didn't paint over them. I'll keep the skinny original 4 1/2 x 15s (that's a motorcycle wheel!) for...whatever...
      Painted in 2-part BMW Polaris Silver, really close to original.

      What it used to look like before the trunk lid smack and disassembly - This is after years of daily commuting in Seattle. There were some rust bubbles to resolve before painting.

        Been coming back here more and more the last few months after quite a while. Time just kind of flies by...
        While also definitely not anything close to an old timer here, it's crazy to think how long this forum's been helping me, even in the quieter last few years of mostly trouble-free vert ownership with the odd question about something stupid.
        Glad to see it's picking back up!
