izzo Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Thanks for the hood CoreAce. I just need to find one bolt for the latch bracket, and then replace one nut on the hood mounting points (ones missing) Very good hood for free! No rust, thats a plus :D I sprayed the hood trim on the original hood with PB blaster in hopes of recovering the hood trim. we shall see. going to try and tackle getting the new doors in monday morning/night. Probably get done after i get home from work. Monday morning i need to go get a chevy door pin kit for the driver door. its toast. Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Put a mintish passenger front/rear door on the goon today. Needs a little adjustment to open/close better but good enough for now. The rubber on them is like new :D Got the motor in my little shop (i do mean little, can't fit a car in there) Got a usable head, now just need to finish putting it together. Nothing special, just a stock L16... Good enough to drive around in. I need a cherry picker, bad... Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Minty condition doors with good rubber, check.... Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Losing motivation... tired of seeing it in the driveway :\ Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 what is wrong with it? Just fix it! :) Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 haha... Almost got the L16 done. need to finish cleaning the old gasket off the timing cover, put it back on. torque the head bolts, install oil pump & dizzy and its done.. then need to throw it in the car. I'd probably be more motivated if the thing ran. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I wish you were closer, cuz I would totally help. Doesnt seem like too much stuff. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Ill work on the L16 more this friday. Maybe if i could get that motor done, and running good enough to drive the wagon around town id be more inclined to do something with it... I just dont think i have the time or money anymore for projects. I need to stop purchasing them. I'd be pretty stoke to have a B12 2 door instead of this :rofl: Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Got bored, tore the motor apart :D When i first got it.... This morning then a little while later And then Im done for the day, sun burnt like a mofo too. Need to make a trip to the hardware store for some odds and ends nut/bolt wise. Might just have me a running wagon tomorrow. Different head, new timing gear, new gaskets. Need to block off the dizzy advance at the carb since the base broke. Finish bolting the intake/exhaust on. Install fuel pump, install dizzy and oil pump. double check everything then i will do a test fire on it. Wont have a radiator in there so can't run it long but will see if it will run...

Laecaon Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 No problem Izzo! Thanks for the L18! Sadly I discovered the distributor is not a pertronix, just a single point. LOLZ Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 No problem Izzo! Thanks for the L18! Sadly I discovered the distributor is not a pertronix, just a single point. LOLZ say what? I thought the points were different, that has a rotor on it... Sorry man! Thought it was... Kevin, not running man. Just in place. next friday evening ill get to hooking things up (exhaust etc...) I need to pull the exhaust manifold out, do a little cutting and welding on it... Then get the intake/exhaust mounted up. Once thats done i just have to plum the radiator/heater hoses, install the starter, hookup the couple of wires and done... Im going to wait to get the weber on till i get the gasket made for it. Stock carb should be good enough to get it rolling for now. Quote Link to comment

Ill be lucky to work on it friday evening, then work on it saturday. Should be a runner very soon tho. Whats one more week, ive already had it sitting in my driveway for months.
