  How about this...
   But seriously, the original black looks more brown compared to Chromabase G9900S.

Garage / Re: 1970 s2 0453R Reassembly

   Today was a half day, I had some landscaping chores the wife dreamed up and a trip to buy everything.
   Then I found the oil leak , a low oil pressure sensor was not fully tightened... simple.
   The overheat , might have been caused by a swirl pot cap not fully tightened. I thought the otter switch wasnt hooked up but the sensor was. I had a worm gear clamp on the overflow tube line that prevented the caps engagement,... hopefully.
  Fixed the clutch pedal rearward movement by adding a bracket for a stop. yes, I screwed up and built the stop on the firewall side when I rebuilt the rusted out original assembly.
  Freed up the throttle cable but the choke doesn't move.  Tomorrow is another day sadly.

I've seen worse for more $.  9K+ is probably a stretch, I'd be more interested in it at 7-7500.

Garage / Re: Freeing up potentially rusted piston rings to cylinder
« Last post by Grumblebuns on Today at 02:18:41 PM »
It took a little bit of effort but I got the engine to break free and rotate freely. I was initially going to use ATF/acetone mixture but I discovered that my can of acetone had evaporated away long ago and my can of WD40 had lost its air pressure. At that time I was tired and most likely too lazy to make the 25 miles round trip to the hardware store in town. I did have a can of PB Blaster which I decided to use. The piston rings probably were not too badly rusted to the cylinders but the PB Blaster did the job. Once I finish the leak down test I'll pour in some light lubricant to coat the piston walls for long term storage.

Garage / TCS black paint under door sill trim
« Last post by Kendo on Today at 09:51:38 AM »
Does anyone have a good picture of a TCS with black paint below the door sill trim? Preferably on a car not painted black :) I know we discussed this in the past. But I can't find the thread. I want to get an example to my painter so he knows what I'm talking about.
