Thank you. I agree, when new problems surface it is frustrating at times when I'm trying to get the car done. But as you say, better to get the little things out of the way now for hopefully trouble free driving in the future.Originally posted by SN-60 View PostTo: gs-xnr,-----Your Avanti looks great! I like how You're addressing all the issues now that would probably 'haunt' You later on. Good luck with it!

Here are some update pictures from July 28th, 2012. Front & rear windshields installed, rear interior done, carpets starting to go down, driver seat installed, dash and instruments in and working properly, power windows in and working (almost properly!), trunk detailed with new carpet, engine & attachments done including new Toyota alternator. Have a PS fluid leak at the control valve which needs fixing but other than that all is well.Last edited by gs-xnr; 08-02-2012, 04:46 PM.

It's looking good .... My 63R-2386 is almost done, I'll be posting pictures soon. The engine has recently been cranked and run to break-in the cam shaft. We are a few weeks from her coming home.

Looking good Harvey. Are you not going to use a brake booster?

Progress on Avanti 2826
Hi Everyone,
I've made some progress since acquiring the car in March. Brian Curtis installed new brakes. The car had "new" brakes, but after sitting for 10 years they were seized. Along with new brakes, new exhaust, dynamat to the floor and doors, new weather stripping, new gauges, new wiper motor, new master cylinder and prop valve, new Magnum 500 wheels & WW tires (215/70/15), stainless moldings polished, rear bumper installed, windshield installed (thanks Dick S. for the name of the installer), new KYB shocks and new power steering hoses. I'm almost ready to fire the engine for the first time. Seats and panels at the upholstery shop.
I hope to drive the car out of the garage by the end of June. Here are a few pics of the work so far.Tags: None
