Cleaned up master cylinder. This thing is a cast iron lump that probably weighs a few pounds. Thye shot is of the unit with primer. Today it was finished with epoxy topcoat and should be ready to install in a couple of days.


After that, there is a couple shots of the driveshaft disassembled and primed. The universal joints have been removed and one of them was very worn. Likely will replace both just because. The driveshaft has been welded about four inches from the front spline. I ground down the weld and it seems pretty solid- not many holes so I will assume that it was done by someone who knows how to weld. I am concerned that the thing could be out of balance and will have it checked out prior to reinstalling.


Last shot shows the insidepart of the heater box that penetrates the firewall. This car did not originally have a heater so it was added later. I'm going to remount the heater because if I don't there will be this nasty scar where it was. Like everything else with this car, the heater was added, but when the box was located in the firewall it was installed about a half inch out of center. The cut-out itself is pretty crudely done and with it off-center will be difficult to fix.
