1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp - Restoration is a strong word
I forgot to mention, I pulled the old carpet out yesterday. I realized as I was working on things, it was just disintegrating and become more of a mess.
Today, I pulled the leaking radiator and I'll drop it off at the repair shop today.
Next, I removed the vertical bumper guards.
I think it looks much better this way.
Then I moved onto troubleshooting wiring. Fuse six under the dash was burned out when I bought the car. I followed a wiring diagram and visually inspected where I could on that circuit. The trunk light looked suspect and seemed to keep the fuse from blowing when I kept it removed, but a few seconds later, I heard the ignition buzzer start making noise followed by the fuse blowing out again. I think I'll be digging into the steering wheel and ignition switch next.
