I noticed a little spot of coolant on the ground after installing my carpet, turns out the heater core was leaking. I worked on removing the heater core and while removing the heater core I pulled the core tube right out of the core. This of course caused a leak on the inside of the car. I very quickly removed the carpet before it the carpet go too wet.
I have ordered a new heater core. While waiting for that to arrive I installed the floor plugs, sound deadening on the firewall, and installed the carpet (again).
I installed the final person of sound deadener on the fire wall. I didn't get a picture of the final install but I put a piece on the transmission tunnel.
I then reinstalled the carpet for hopefully the last time. I got the rear seat installed as well and I must say I am very happy with the results. Its not perfect but for my first carpet install I think it turned out good.
I also have all but one of the grounds reconnected so hopefully I am able to fire up the car once I get the heater core replaced. It is starting to get nice around here so I am getting very anxious to drive the car again.
There is still a lot of things I would like to do to the car but it will be such a relief when it is reliably drivable again. I am hoping to make it to Vintage Torque fest the last week of April. As long as all goes according to plan that shouldn't be a problem.
