Indy 02's 1973 Tii restoration

[Indy02]

Hello, to all. Here are just a few of the pictures of my 73Tii that I have been working on since I bought this as a rolling shell in Mid 2002. I am having trouble posting pictures so if you go to www.indychevelle.com and look under friends cars (Pat's1973tii) you can view some of the photos. I have kept a photo log of most of the progress from inception but like I said for some reason I can't get them to load here!! If anyone has any ideas how, or where to post all my progressive pictures please help me out!! I would like to share with everyone who is interested!! Thanks,Pat . Additionally this is the best, most helpful group of individuals I have ever met!!

Pat, the car looks great! Very Nice. Is it going to be an automatic? Is that Verona (factory color), or custom? There are a few of us in the Indpls. area with 2002s. Larry in Indpls.

Pat,

What an awesome car. I am really looking forward to seeing this one done. Another Indiana 02!!!...Go hoosiers...

Beautiful. What color is that?

[Indy02]

Larry called it correctly on the color. It is Verona red. It it a manual transmission. I got my 5 speed transmission back from the shop last week. Last night I bolted the motor and transmission together so tonight I'll be trying to install it. More to come!! Thanks for all the kind words from everyone, it motivates me to keep pushing forward!!

Greetings to all, I finally figured out how to post images on Flickr. This is just is just a small sample of where i started from to where I'm at now. http://www.flickr.com/photos/indy02/ I will try and post more photos as I get them organized.

Very nice work. Looks like you're restoring it to a high level. I like your terminal block for the remote battery setup.

[Indy02]

Thanks Kris, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to bring the battery cable thru the firewall without cutting up the brand new insulation blanket. So, instead I routed it next to the hood latch cable and out the hole where the harnesses from the engine compartment come to the fuse block.

Pat -

Wonderful pics of the Verona tii! I'm hoping to do what you are doing someday to another 2002.

Is your Hella (round) horn relay new? If so, where did you get it? I'm looking for a better one for my car.

Thanks!

[HarryPR]

Looking great! That will be one beautiful car once it's done.

[Indy02]

Jim, there is a Hella relay on Ebay like the one I have it's item # 260382101872. The same seller I got mine from. But just so you know this relay has an external fuse with a rubber cover. I bought it anyway because it looks so much better than what I had! Thanks to all for the comments! Pat

Pat - thanks for the tip (and clarification about it).

Did you install a new wiring harness in your car?

[Indy02]

Jim, no the harness is not new. It's the harness out of my Wisconsin (very rusty) donor car. I spent multiple days re-wraping and replacing terminal ends. I have seen a couple of harnesses on Ebay but they could not tell me if they were correct for my car. So I spent time on mine and used the savings on other stuff!!

Pat,

Very nice work. I was wondering where you purchased your battery terminal block and the firewall heat shiels?

Thanks,

Tim

That car looks great! The engine, paint, and other components look showroom new. Excellent work.
