I see some crankcase venting issues with a plugged carb vacuum source and the hose from the valve cover appears to go "overboard" instead of thru a pump but I'd consider that less-than critical...
I would agree with the observation on the back-up lights, they are not original, but the thing that is done totally wrong is the shift-lever housing!! It is mounted backwards (incidentally, I have seen that done before!)!!!
Well, if it's the engine bay we're supposed to be focused on, here's a photo of a more or less unmolested '66 I adopted out to a new home last year for comparison. When everything is turned around for right hand drive, like the car in the photo on Ebay, it gets more challenging for me to discern errors.
Nope, no battery in the Ebay car...if there was, you wouldn't be able to see as much of the bulges in the firewall as you do in the photo (see the photo I just posted).
Umm, all I saw was the heater on wrong. Well spotted Jeff, great minds and all that!
Still, with all that other stuff noted I can't help but sit here feeling like a dumbass...
No Pete, some folks here (myself often included) just have too much esoteric knowledge floating around the old brains. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
Well, on second look, I must agree that there is no battery in place (of course that does not mean he does not have a new one to pop in!). I still think the only glaring mistake is that shifter housing!!! Can't find much else outrageously wrong! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif
I agree with Doc. (below) that on a RHD car the blower would interfer with access to the master cylinders if it were placed as in LHD cars! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif
Roger that, Drew. The blower motor was what I thought to be a proper arrangement for a RHD car tho... all the master cylinder stuff up there to get in the way an' all. :shrug:
I can't recall seeing a RHD Spridget, either, so I was clueless about that.
