did do a lot of work lately
motor out
all glass out
headliner out
whole interior out
steering wheel out
all the bolts that hold the chassis to the fame out -went remarkable smoothly
chassis now loose and lifted it a bit up
and off course here some questions
- is it normal they used nails to fasten trims rubbers etc...
- removed the mud plates looks as we smuggled some American soil into Europe
this is how it looked inside normal?
this is a bad piece of rocker the rest looks fine and I can see the inside heater channel looks pretty good , how to check the rest of the heater channel?
the dash looks pretty good except one place
is this possible to fix?
next making a dolly and begin to fix the new pans in.... |

Yes. For example these are the original tacks that were used to anchor the lower end of the rear windlace in my '71 cabriolet.
Here's a photo before countersinking the screws I used to replace the tacks.

When I was a young apprentice, they were called Drive Nails; and yes we drove thousands of them through the floor pans to hold the carpets down, now I look back and cringe thinking about all the rust I was guilty of inflicting on owners cars, _________________ Cheers,

ok so the nails are correct
now how to remove them?
and what to use instead or re use them?
difficult I think because the opening will be to wide no? |
