Chamonix 3.0CS Restoration

[Norm!]

Still dumping fuel after five attempts, I’m done! Sent to Carb Refactory in Richmond, Ca. Hoping I can get them back in three weeks so I still have a shot at driving it to Monterey as I only need to get the a/c done when it is running again. Twenty minutes to remove them from the coupe, pretty quick I think.

Bummer, let’s hope they make it back in time.

Light at the end of the tunnel, I spent most of the day test fitting and adjusting, everything works!

Please refresh my memory. Are you adding a heater bypass valve?

Pic needed to show how underdash cover mounts and bracket missing on hood release door please.

 

[HB Chris]

Thank you Andrew!

 

[rsporsche]

Chris, i am presuming that you have said bracket? be careful putting in the pop rivets - try using as short of a rivet as you can to keep from disturbing the outer portion of the door / getting a good tight fit

 

[HB Chris]

I am missing the lower bracket, it is same as upper one though.

let me check on my spare door ...

I think I can get one here locally, thanks Scott

That console fits probably better than when new! But is that blood I see on the a/c grill?

 

[HB Chris]

I don’t think so but I have certainly donated a fair amount of blood to this project.
