Incredible engine display! So, how much traffic did the display generate? Great job and kudos to the CCC group!

As a reference, the following identifies the wiring in the two, half-moon connectors at the base of the column going to and returning from the turn signal switch...

The good: Remote control mirror, telescoping column, AM/FM radio, and a 66 convertible Corsa (one of ~3142 built)... The things that make me uneasy: as some noted on other posts - missing exterior trim "Corsa" on fender, and Corsa "C" logo on quarters, breather on oil filler cap,...

Your hinges look like steel, is your car a 67,8 or 9? I wonder if the 'early' 65-66 would use the same hardware - I know the hinges are aluminum...

Something to think about! How did it effect your door closing/opening efforts?

Thanks...

Keep up the posts! I need to get my thread up to date... Looking good!

Brake reaction rods to LCA looks good (all of it looks good!). The bushing at the brake reaction rod to the cross member look different than the ones I used (see below) Capture1.JPG Cannot see, but you also have a large nut, washer and bushing on the front side of the cross member also... Right? Lik...

Lowers different on my Late Model - at least due to attachment point for sway bar. If not for the sway bar, not sure if yours would be the same... The way 4 holes are drilled to accept the brake reaction rods, it seems they were intended to be the same part for both sides.. Good Luck... Capture.JPG

yes, there is a driver's and passenger's side - and the "pins" also have an orentation... I have not done an early, but, here is my photos as I marked before dis-assembly of mine. Maybe it will help? I put one dot with a center punch on the front of the Driver's arm and Pin - Two on the pa...

Woo Hoo - looking good... What are you doing with the springs?

Keep the photo's coming!

What you are doing to clean out the pan is good, but, with it being parked for this period, I'd suggest you take the upper fan shroud off and assure the fins are not clogged.

Kevin - where ya been? What have you been up to? Less snow there than in Washington???

Thanks for the video and welcome back...

Man, I think you are close! I only worked from the top side... I'd suggest you get a larger drill (3/8"?) and 'countersink' at the rivet head locations.. All of a sudden the remaining rivet head "washer" will pop off and you can move to the next... Then support the ball joint below th...

If you have the heads removed, and you can't push the rivets through, maybe turn over and heat the arm and knock the ball joint off of the arm and rivets. then you could try to loosen the rivet from the arm alone? I don't recall having much issue after the rivet head was removed... Good Luck! When y...
