Thanks for the link. It looks like I might not be missing too much material. If anyone has any closer pics of the heat outlet area post em up.

i think you are missing too much to rebuild it.

[Purple68]

Ahhh, I see. There is quite a bit broken off of mine. Well it has been that way since I owned the car so I'll make do one way or the other. I'm going to get busy with the fiberglass tomorrow and see what I can do. The good thing is it's where you can't really see it anyways. Thanks for posting the pics, it helps a lot!

Thanks for the heads up but I'm already started fixing mine and shipping gets real expensive up to Canada.
So far I have the hole on the top patched and made a new bracket for the cable.

Great job you're doing on the box, it'll be as good as new! Keep posting pix please.

Just an observation......that's a sorry looking pair of pliers. hahaha

Thanks, sure I'll post some more pics as I go. I'm no pro but I'll do what I can. If anyone else has a closer pic of the passenger side outlet I'd love to see it. Yep, the pliers have been with me awhile.

We're Canadian - Those are Metric pliers!

I humbly stand corrected.

Well I can do it fairly easily I think, if I can get another pic or 2. If not I'm just gonna shape it so it looks better and not worry about it.

Some progress pics.

[Purple68]

I need to do some more sanding on the rough coat then I will fill the spots missed on the first coat and try and shape the outlet a little more.

[Purple68]

A couple more progress pics.

[Purple68]

I also carefully got the motor apart and cleaned, lubed, and checked the brushes. Surprisingly about half the brush length remains so I'm glad I can just go with it as is. I'm getting ready to paint the box then I just have to wait for the foam kit to arrive and I can finish up.

the wife is gonna be pissed when she finds out your doing this on the kitchen table

[Purple68]

Well the old table doesn't matter anymore and there is no wife soooo...I can do whatever the heck I want! 

[Purple68]

Well, I got it painted, just need the foam/seal kit and I'm set. I'm pretty happy how it came out. I'll post a couple more when it's finished.

Nice work.

[Paul 500]

 i thought it was to far gone to repair, you've done an excellent job

[twodko]

Give yourself a pat on the back! Not only did you use what you had, you stuck with it and the proof of your skills are in these pictures. Nicely done buddy.

Nice job--very good!

So, start to finish, how many hours do you think it took you?
