check linkages and cable clips on the side of the heater box. the hot/cold cable can jam up as well, usually after a broken window at some stage. glass jams up the flaps, force the lever across.... snap. did 4 yrs replacing car heaters for a job.

jaycar? think they have kits for that.

it will look worse than it is. peel the tape/burnt bits off, fix what's left. might have to see if i can make it over one night to give a hand, done lots of this kind of repair in the past. hardest bit is finding grey tape...

sounds like you have used the dash light feed for an earth. happens all the time. recheck stereo wiring.

keen for the bbq thing mentioned earlier.

is the dash wiring in and things do not go? or do you need everything hooked up? fuze boxes on these are a common problem. they have shitty ceramic fuzes that corrode the ends up. run your finger up an down them to "roll" them in their sockets, usually works wonders.

my bad, probably because i only gave it 1 coat after wiping most if the dirt off it... fitted in well with the rusty flames though...

have used fortec primer with good results. did my old merc in gmh black, (as above) cheap but very thin. rubs off after about 6 months. would have fortec anyday. used about half a litre to paint a 323 wagon i had.

check spark with one of the plugs. have had plugs short out in the past when using 95 fuel after a couple of days. even more so with stale fuel. caught a few people out in the past, especially on older/low compression engines. worth a shot...

I agree. wicked.

have you seen my working conditions? out side on a shingle drive way on a slope. with earthquakes. probably snow tomorrow too... mint. haven't driven george in anger in the snow yet.

had one of those years ago with a formula ford motor and gte box in it. was one of my favorite cars. like the project, wanting one again now..
