One item i found today which i found very interesting. There is no hood latch spring. And it looks as though it never has. No marks at all from a j’nut having been slipped on or off

Re: New build thread

Im trying to take as many pics as i can along the way. If anyone needs a specifi pic let me know . This seems to be nearly 100% original. Almost worth a full restoration but not really. Its getting “ up grades” at least. On the fence about it going back as dealer air or factory air. I have both options and i will be doing metal work on the cowl unfotunately and changing the coolant hoses is small in comparison😩
