Ran out of time after work, had to watch the kiddo tonight, so I only had about an hour to work on it. Dropped the AC compressor off, lines still connected. It's still an R12 system. ^_^ and it worked when the car was parked. Still has pressure too.
Oh also....RUST FUCKING FREE!! Fuel tank is even in tact! ^_^
I've always wanted a Laguna car, but now that I have one.....and every time I see your car....I want Calypso.
UGH.
Oh well. I'll try to do the Laguna justice. Will need to get the hood and right fender painted/repaired. Nice little ding that looks like it was fixed once, but it's coming apart. Hood obviously the clear is coming off.....but that is very last on the list. Making it go fast is more importanter.
Began taking the airbag column out to swap for non-airbag for my Wilwood pedals. Going to wait until the engine is out to finish up as I need to steer it into the shop.
Contemplating how I want to do my core support. Goal is to make the entire front modular, so I can unplug one plug, a few bolts, then two people can slide the entire assembly off. We'll see. My friend is an engineer, so we'll work something out really cool.
Long story short, someone posted this car on the FB group. It was in town, and cheap. Emailed the guy, and got a reply, got on the phone. 8 hours later, with the help of my friend Paul, the car was on a trailer sitting in front of the shop I work.
You beat me to it. I really needed it for parts but even better to see you restoring it to glory.
Just moved into a new house and havn't even gotten to spend time working on cars in the garage, or even do anything really other then work at work, then work at home. Fresh paint and Carpet is nice though!
Havn't followed a V8 build yet, interested to see how you tackle it!
