Ebay item 8/15/12
www.leatheriquecanada.com and planned to re-dye these to Suede Green, and swap them in. I'll supply dye with this sale.

I did the headliner years ago, but the rear-most panel won't stay up.

I've painted this car twice. The first time was a bare metal job using epoxy primer. The second was after crushing the driver's fender against a guard rail. I patched up the fender and it's breaking out badly now. The car had sills put in before I owned it. Floors and under-body are good. I've used rustproofing often over the years.

The brake rotors and pads will pass a safety check. The master cylinder was just rebuilt.

The front exhaust downpipe is stainless steel, with the rest mild steel in good shape.

The engine starts and runs well, has 125 Lbs compression on all cylinders. I've removed the AC components, but have the parts. I wanted clean and simple. The electric fan makes the engine bay clean, and a belt change a snap! The fan runs after shut down until the engine's cool. I've rebuilt the engine twice. Once should have been enough but a stuck float allowed flooding during a highway trip that fuel in the oil wiped out the bearings. I had the crank hardened the second time, with new pistons, oil pump etc.

Acceleration is much quicker than stock with the low gearing of the 4 speed overdrive transmission coupled with the 4.09 diff. It will actually spin the tires. The transmission locks up in the 3 and 4th, and lock up is manually controlled with a switch on the shifter base. ( see pic). The transmission does hit the tunnel on hard acceleration and requires some hammering in that area. The diff also has a slight wine. Overall the car is not as refined as stock, but goes much better. On a club track day it was as faster than a S1 E Type around the track. This surprised many there, as they assumed my car would be the slowest of the day. The quicker steering and Moto Lita wheel help.

The Tires have 50 miles on them.

One fuel pump doesn't work, but I have a replacement.

The front windshield was replaced once and is still excellent. I have new front and rear screen rubbers too.

The rear hand brake calipers have been removed, but I have them.

So there you have it: 2 cars, plus fenders, new rear valence, new gas tank covers, leather dye.
