Well, the Crypt Car as usual is again broke down....
waiting on parts ( 3 ea 5/16" by 24 nuts from Paul)
so I can replace DPO Pedro's blown water pump.
I figured it was time to address the mess in the engine
compartment. I stripped the existing down to bare metal
and laid down a blue/grey rust primer from a local
manufacturer.
Then two coats of no gloss, flat, iron oxide rust and
one coat of clear, flat polyurethane topcoat. It
matches pretty good with the red exterior of the car and
brings out the chrome in the engine bay.
About 80% of the engine bay is now flat rust red.
I got the new wire harness routing sorted out fairly
well and installed the bottom half of the new hood latch
assembly. Also installed the new emergency hood release
cable.
The Crypt Car is still deader than dead but poco a poco
Amos is emerging.
One day, soon maybe, my TR will accomplish 70 or even 100
miles in a single day without a breakdown. True colors:
