Forest's rebuild thread

[forestb]

I started putting her back together today. When I got her back the transmission was not engaging unless I got the rpm's really high. Filled it with 4 quarts and is now working. Before I got it painted it had a slight league. I guess after sitting for a year and a half it lost a lot of fluid. While filling her up I noticed my new electric radiator fan was not coming on. Turns out that the thermostat was not working. While trying to figure out why the fan was not working I saw that my inner fenders were not fully bolted to the core support. Also noticed that the rear of the front fender was not bolted down.

I did get my old seat back in for the time being. While doing that I saw that two of my seat belt bolt holes had been welded shut.

In other news I got my rear bumper, sun visors, arm rests, rear and side view mirrors installed and put my searing wheel on correctly.

I have a long list of things to do and with every one I check off, I seem to add two more.
