chronicles the restoration of my 1968 Datsun 2000 Roadster.
I removed the heater this weekend. Now I know what people mean when they say they built these cars around the heater--it is bolted into the body from the engine bay!
I had some excitment with a heater hose leaking coolant onto the passenger side floor, so I did my best to drain the radiator. There is a plug at the bottom of the radiator and I found jacking the back of the car up helped coax some more coolant out after it stopped draining.
Here is the heater, in all its glory:
I was finally able to remove the last scrap of carpet. I also took the opportunity to strip the interior off the doors at this time.
Next weekend I hope to liberate the dash, stay tuned!
