Re: I'm back, in black! 1967 Monza 110hp coupe

So, status update. Lot has happened. First off, there was a huge bondo mess up front. All over the front half of the passenger fender and all over the front bumper area. I'll try to post a picture, it doesn't like the dimension size of the one I have. But, I don't know if this bondo is to make it ev...

Re: I'm back, in black! 1967 Monza 110hp coupe

That's really just a way to put it. The idea was to put a custom built engine in it, fuel injected, but based off the original engine so it would fit the same.

Re: I'm back, in black! 1967 Monza 110hp coupe

Wrecked my daily earlier in the year, and almost traded this thing for a daily to use, especially since at the time I had no desire to work on it (lots of private life stuff goin on then). But now I'm workin and making ok money again better than before so I feel like sinking time in...

I'm back, in black! 1967 Monza 110hp coupe

Hey all, been a long time since I was on these boards. My corvair has come a long way since a few years ago, 2016 was a great year for it as I got it running, roadworthy, and then fixed the nuances that came about from it's first time driving properly in well over 20-25 years! In October of 2016 I u...

Re: heating system?

Re: toyota corolla a/c

Haha i felt exactly like homer. Apparently my mom's ex had replaced the fuse, but he probably didnt do it as he was shop manager he probably had his employees do the work. And the fuse was probably replaced first, and something else they did (maybe condensor did actually fix the real problem it was ...
