Thats not rust, thats weight reduction!

Beautiful!

May I ask what those Recaro's were sourced from? They look strangely similar to FC Vert seats... Also those Weber's... 51mm? :)

..poke holes thru the rust for ventilation or better air circulation. let me know if you need help Eric!! You dont need painless wiring but its there, so use it. I prefer running my own wires as you know.

You call that a project? Here's a project:

Heh, kiddin' of course. Let me know if you need any '2 parts, I may just have them.

Mike

i have no clue where the recaros came from. were with the car. and its racing beats delorto 48 dhla carb setup.

i probably will need some help with this car, need to get the carb sorted out so its not runnign rich anymore. and everything is wired up right with the painless cluster except for the brake lights, running lights, and turn signals.

pm sent :)

Are the mesh wheels factory?

unfortunately, that sounds normal for a dellorto but it can be done.

Oddly enough, I like that color. Good luck with your project.

I would say that those are regular SE sport seats with vert head rest shoved in them

The seats remind me of that robot from ROCKY III, but the car is gorgeous!

The exterior of the car looks to be in great shape. I bet that car is a ton of fun to drive as well. Good luck with getting all the kinks worked out of it.

well i was told that there was a broken part inside of it. but as to how true that is, i dont know. he said that the broken part would cause it to not be able to rev up (the person who had it before speedemon) . but we found a hose that was blocking the springs on the throttle and now it doesnt have a problem. the car still smells rich a little rich, and theres a bit of smoke at idle after it gets warmed up.

youd think so, but the paint is chipping and cracking just about everywhere. and i wouldnt really know howmuch fun it is to drive, only been able to go up and down the street with it so far (BAAAD vibrations when you get to about 40), and while pulling back into the driveway there was a cop behind us, so im not gonna drive it until i can get the exhuast fixed up.

just looked at the picture again, and god DAMN you got a project on your hands! good luck with that one!

Looks like a nice project Eric!
I might be able to help you with the carbs..

Where in Redono Beach are you? Cross streets?

Maybe we can hang out some time, I'd like to check out your car!

inglewood and 190th. and yeah that would be cool. lemme know.

i have the rear license plate piece if ya need one.
shoot me a PM if your interested. Matt

Picture 2 on your first post as reference.

Nice looking sedan man! I've got myself a coupe but I've gotta say that lateley I've been seeing some pretty wicked 4-doors that make me want one!

Try to get hold of Brad on here (not sure about his screen name) in regards to your Dellorto. My dad and I used to own the green REPU he now autox's and he got that Dellorto carb running better than I think we ever did... but he's now running a Webber so that may give you an idea. Seriously though, I think he got the Dellorto pretty well sorted out before he called it quits. Personally I wouldn't want another one but I'd work with what you got for now.

Good luck man and keep us posted!
