    for the vents im going to buy a few rolls of this... its vent sealing foam, should do the trick! he ships worldwide you just need to ask him for a price.

    Didn't realize the non-A/C box was so different

    Good to see those nice tools in action

    Foam is for the heater boxes and useless for the vents, vents have thin square
    foam seals held in place by grooves.
    Best I found was to cut bicycle tubing to fit and it's held up well or I'd be late defrosting
    every morning.

    Great to see one of these early cable operated units, got any spare? I think better than the later
    ones with motors & electronics.

    ill try and figure out somethign for the vents when i strip the dash out! the foam should last another 15 years on the AC box, especially since its probably better quality that what was in it before.

    I have got a spare manual heater control unit! they work great. :thumbsup:

    Hey man,leave him alone haha you should post your garage too and see how it looks cleaned and how long it takes haha. We should make another thread as a game "garage cleaning game" haha just kidding lol.

    Although i agree with Steve, let's see the car in there! With some clever tetris and the car will be right at home in ere'!

Put in a good battery, and three turns of the engine and it goes... :eek5 this car hasnt been touched for over 9 months now and it started straight away! i am in shock and it has just inspired me more, so i had it running and were it was left was basically a field...

    AND IM BACK!!! i now have my car in a shed for the winter so i can do all the jobs i want! :cheers i moved it all yester, i cleaned up the shed a bit more and here is the result in room.

    [​IMG]

    it does look quiet neglected im afraid to say but i will get on top of sorting everything out... i just need to buy a small air compressor and some welding gas and i can start the rust scouting and repairing! :thumbsup: if anybody has any tips on the best stuff to use please feel free to help me out, i want to know whats the best rust convertor i can buy along with primer to cover it afterwards!

    Engine - still going strong.
