    So far have done:
    New suspension bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends and steering rack.
    New shocks.
    Rebuild master cylinder and booster, rebuilt calipers, new rotors, new pads, new braided stainless flex brake line, replaced all wheel bearing seals, repacked bearings.
    ALL new hoses, everywhere, coolant, vacuum, A/C, oil lines, fuel.
    New clutch/pressure plate, flywheel,
    Totally rebuilt and upgraded (3.6L) engine.
    Rebuilt transaxle, new bearings and synchros.
    New clutch and throttle cables.
    Rebuilt from ground up and blueprinted, carbs.
    New fuses boxes (Birdman).
    New cooling fan motors.
    Boiled out radiator.
    Cleaned fuel tanks.
    New interior (carpet, GAHH seat covers, door panels, and recovered rear deck, A pillars , and armrests)

    Left to do:
    power window motor relay circuits to be added.
    Column switches are flaky, they need to be rebuilt.
    SOMETHING is making the speedo intermittent, dunno if it is the signal generator, or the wiring.
    Make some brackets to rehang the blower motors which are laying on the front of car lower pan.
    Find a replacement AC compressor to replace that heavy York comp, which did not go back on the car.
    repaint lower front valence, and remove, powder coat and replace the two grill vents behind the rear wheel underneath.

    Am I missing anything?

    Very nice Doug! I ask if it’s a B or S because I was going to ask you how is the headliner material on your Targa top, If it needs addressing maybe it’s a good time to take care of that now.

    The head liner is really very nice. i have owned the car for 36 years, so it has been taken care of, even though i did put a lot of miles on it in the first 12 years i owned it.

    I did have new behind the seat top cover sewn up, using the old one as pattern.

    I even have the original owners manual and jacket, and original complete tool set and jack.
