plenum chamber access

[62ute]

hi guys n gals,
just had a search through your archives lookin for an answer but cant find it, so ill ask

just strippin down the ek ute for a a bit of rust luvin,
its the first car ive found where you can take the whole top off the plenum chamber, what a fantastic idea, more cars should be like this.

anyway do i really need to remove the windscreen or can i be slack and just remove the chrome from around the windscreen, does that chrome come out easily or do i really need to remove the screen..

cheers dan

nope, windscreen out unfortunately. the chrome (stainless) acts as a bead to hold the window and seal in. just be warned...putting them back in sucks!

thanks jimmy,
thought as much, then it never stops, i know ill find a bit of rust under the screen, and then if the screens out i should do the hood lining and then... and then... and then full resto time.

Thats how it usually happens, before you know it its a ground up job

haha yeah it's one of those points that starts snowballing. you can't help but think 'yeah but i'll just fix this little bit too....oh and i can't leave that!....hmm better do that bit too...'
all part of the fun

You can pull out the stainless strip around the screen with out pulling the screen out, but it will be all bent out of shape and unusable , I've done it , Trev .
