Update 4pm. <\/strong>Aaron put up a new post on his blog <\/a>with a pretty cool video of his first trip in his 1962 1600 Giulia Sprint that spent a month in my shop getting freshened up to be roadworthy with some occasional, marginally helpful pointers from me.\u00a0 Check it out.<\/p>\n

Sunday December 6th, 2009.\u00a0 I didn’t have any big plans for the time I would spend at the shop, mostly catching up on some small jobs and doing some organizing.\u00a0 I was cold at the shop, even with long underwear and a thick hooded sweatshirt -hoodie in California stoner parlance, so I was moving slow and not very motivated.<\/p>\n

\"Veloce<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Veloce engine mount receives a good cleaning, new bushing and used but good shape engine mount.\u00a0 Note Bendix fuel pump in the background -the subject of a future post no doubt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"pass<\/a><\/p>\n

The passenger side fender seemed like a good guinea pig for further black goo removal technique exploration.\u00a0 Today I tried aerosol Kleen-strip followed by Scotch-brite scrub followed by scraping with a razor blade followed by paper towel wipe down.\u00a0 Result was about the same as that in the engine compartment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0059\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This little razor blade holder was great for avoiding hand fatigue\u00a0and scraped off some big peals of semi-soft goo.<\/strong> I will probably go over it all with a pneumatic sander or electric wire-wheel in the near future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"organizing<\/a><\/p>\n

So between coats of paint remover curing I spent time organizing some plastic bags of hardware that had accumulated during the Berlina engine transplant, Sprint engine rebuild, TI engine transplant, Fiat engine transplant and furtive little jobs on the 69 GTV and SS.\u00a0 Split lock, wavy lock, star lock and \u00a0flat washers all have separate lodging now.\u00a0 Metric bolts, screws, nuts and the like too found organization.\u00a0 Inch fasteners were relegated to a plastic bag and hidden away in a drawer for such as time I need them for my English unit project -hopefully never!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0062\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seen here is a set of 1300 flywheel bolts and lock strips, a throw out bearing fork and associated mounting hardware.\u00a0 This was removed from my blank 1300 assembly when I separated the engine from transmission and flywheel.\u00a0 Ready to bag, label and store until they are needed.\u00a0 I am using 1600\/1750 flywheel bolts on the SS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0057\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Similar treatment to the head and valve cover hardware.\u00a0 This all needs plating\u00a0but I still need to buy 4 gallons of distilled water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0065\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My organizational technique: labeled bags.\u00a0 Oil pan will probably receive new M6 grade 8 nuts and washers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0063\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the fastener mess was made less messy I lifted the rear end assembly up onto the bench.\u00a0 It is now in the way of any work I could do to anything else so it will probably be next in line.\u00a0 I may start plating and work on this between 20 minute batches if everything works out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0064\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The housing is covered in really tenacious grease\/oil\/grit\/dirt that will have to be scraped off.\u00a0 I did a pretty thorough write up <\/a>of cleaning the 4:56 so I wont get into this much.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On today’s menu is hopefully a start by Bill on the floors, the ordering of a bunch of parts from Terry<\/a> and the ordering of a bunch of chassis rust treatment and painting supplies from Eastwood -oh and buying 4 gallons of distilled water.\u00a0 I am feeling good about this project, not only because it is my only project but because of the noticeable progress I have been making.\u00a0 3 more hours down, 896 to go.<\/p>\n

The next installment is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
