72 3.0 CS 2240344 Restoration

[ScottAndrews]

now the fun part, cleaning and restoring all the individual bits!

Yep!

Got the half shaft rebuild kits today. Need to go through my inventory and assay what I have and what needs work.

One of the next important projects will be the renovate the wire harness, including numbering all the wires using my handy wire label making machine.

Super annoyed to find that I chipped the brittle plastic inserts in the headliner, where the sun visors clip in. I can get replacements at W-N, but there are 101 of these sorts of things to address.

Need to get my bead blaster and mini spray booth set up!

I think Carl has those clips, I never move my visor to the side.

Woot!! Scored a replacement wiper/indicator switch on eBay this AM. My original switch fell apart in my hands when I removed. it. I think the mounting screws were the only thing holding it together!

I have been going round and round trying to find a replacement. There are so many variants out there. Some are only wash/wipe, some are wash/wipe/dip, wrong connectors, etc..

Miraculously today the exact same part number showed up, so I snagged. it.

Here is the switch as it fell out of the column..
