Strip the interior

JtC came up in the evening to pull the seats and remove the carpet.

Results...




The sound deadener looks like it is in good condition...



A great example of why the carpet needs replacing...




Lost treasure!



The upholstery under the cover, under the cover...



Now to source some carpet, underlay and decide what to do with the seats.

Stay tuned!

Went for a drive south with a couple of Mustangs, down Bullli pass and back across Lawrence Hargreaves Drive to home...





Unfortunately Rob's Mach 1 couldn't make it ;-(

...next time!

JtC took the Chev and headed south to help a mate out with a movie she is shooting.

A quick shot at Bald Hill Lookout...

Quad'y

Picked up a Quadrajet off eBay for $20...

Old stock from Hume Performance at Warwick Farm. There is every chance
it has never been on a car and is coated in a light coating of surface
rust.

Has a Holley sticker on it which apparently means it is a Rochester
factory 2nd and was rebuilt/modified/rectified by Holley.

Serial Number: 7043266
Rochester ID: 70 (pre-1976)
Year Code: 43 (1973)
Emissions: 2 (49-State)
Division: 6 (Pontiac)
Transmission: 6 (Automatic)

Looks like it is off an auto trans 1973 Pontiac GTO with a 400 ci motor

Will need an electric choke conversion (now that I have removed the heat
riser) and we'll put a kit through it
