AMC Gremlin

Not much going on. But some progress... some wiring, brakes and suspension fitted. Everything is new, brakes, bushings, shock absorbers and springs etc.

Remanufactured the spring saddle perches, filled with poluerethane instead of rubber.

Fixed up parts and painted black (from green). The armrest base was broken, nicely fixed

On its wheels with suspension and steering. Wiring front and back installed and rebuilt where necessary. Had to buy more sound deadening material. Once we install the interior but before carpet, more soundproofing will be placed (foam like 1/2 inch thickness). Heather box rebuilt, it was a reall piece of junk rusted through. New wheel and fan motor installed as well.

A friend of mine just finished painting the grill and rear lamps. Looks good. Its a shame that it'll probably crack again in a few years, cheapo plastic they used from the factory

Engine in. Test start and running-in should happen shortly.

Small bits added here and there... side windows, door seals and hatch seal, door latches and handles, more interior work (ac box rebuilt and re-sealed), rear hatch, rear spoiler, engine and wiring mostly complete. The engine turns nicely and builds oil pressure, but hasnt been started yet.

I tried to recycle and rebuild the most i could, so some parts and not perfect, but its a real challenge to find new parts in reasonable prices, or good condition used ones... This makes me even more happier, these cars are few and far between, i believe this will be the only one in Poland.
