On top of the big projects, I have a bunch of little projects to push ahead to complete cars that are at my shop. The aqua colored GTE still offers me challenges trying to source missing parts, and the work has been to complete the brake system. After finding an elusive banjo bolt for the brake booster, I turned my attention to the master cylinder. New ones are available, but they’re not exactly “plug and play!” The inlet and outlet fittings have different thread pitches than the original one on the car, so I had to transfer the old fittings onto the new master cylinder.

Keeping the original fittings was important so the brake light switch was fit all the lines that were already plumbed.

The Blue Scuro 330GT continues to make good progress, but there are always little pieces that need preparation for installation. The steering wheel parts needed to be cleaned up and polished, but putting these back on the car will be a big milestone!

Other steering column parts included the ignition lock. A fresh coat of primer and paint will have it ready to put back in the car.

I have a 330GTC that needed to have the hood pad installed so off came the hood, and a new correct shiny silver hood pad was installed, along with the polished pad stays mounted to the underside of the hood.
