I picked up this 72 K20 back in Feburary, plan is to turn it into my DD. These types of threads have helped me in areas , so hopefully someone doing similar will learn from my mistakes along the way.

Had some manditory work come up. Radiator blew out, fortunately i was just going to the mail box. and i had already bought a Griffin aluminium anticipating the blow. Since the old rad was a cobbled togrther piece, i decided to return to factory

Next the hood wasnt staying latched! So i had ordered a new latch assembly after inspecting the old one an determinen its way beyond useful
