| Assembly of the Engine Peripherals | ||
| A few days later...
All engine peripherals were installed again. Starter, generator, power steering, radiator, wiring, hoses, etc., etc. ... Followed by filling and venting all liquids. |
||
| Truth be known, it is a lot more work to
breath new life into an old engine and its peripherals then it looks. Who
would reinstall a rusty clamp, screw or other part if the target is to get
the car as close to show-room condition as possible?
So... we removed rust, cleaned and painted parts and replaced screws, hoses and clamps where necessary. |
||
| All parts were thoroughly checked out before installation.
While it looked like a complete engine again, there was still much to do to make it run again. All the gauges and electrical controls needed to be hooked up. That was the next step. |

We proceeded to the installation of the first interior parts.
