Hi folks. As the weather has been cool and rainy here in Connecticut, I started a few "improvements" on my 76B. Here's a before and after pic of the engine bay change over the last 2 weeks.

I've rewebbed and padded the seats, got the courtesy light working, replaced the Weber water choke with the proper electric choke, replaced the leaking heater core and refinished the box (man that is a PAIN), and cleaned up the engine bay.

It's no big thing to most of you guys, but I'm kinda proud of my B!

Tom

Nice job! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
Now, if you have any free time, I can load up a few more and bring 'em your way. They're Spridgets, so it should only be half as much work!

I would be ashamed to show my engine bay! Wanna come out to the Coast and do a gratis cleanup for me? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif
