little update...
had to replace the rear trunk hinges and mouting brackets...you can see in the first pic that the rear trunk was out of wack due to the bracket ripping off the car...




now its pouyfect! also replaced rear trunk seal and engine compartment seal and added gas shocks to the trunk and got rid of torsion bars...

next was to replace all the fuel lines, fuel pump, relocate fuel pump, clean out front compartment, new heater and blower tubes...

i did not want to take any chances with 34 year old plastic and fuel running through the car, this will also allow me to run a subaru fuel pump "in line" when the time comes...

start


tank out


clean...somewhat (i kinda gave up and focused more on getting the car done)


pump relocated to front of car and out of "hell hole" in the rear of car ( the hell hole is a really bad spot in the back of the car where the pump is located and gets so hot from the engine it gets vapor lock and the car shuts down...so in 74+ they relocated the pump to the front, so i figured i mine as well do the same...



old fuel lines and new fuel lines (these run through the center of the car...ones in engine bay are being repalced also...


that is about it, the lines are in, i have to run wire to fuel pump, put tank back in, finish lines in engine bay, then get her back on the ground...
