Thanks for the update. I rebuilt my ‘71 from scratch. It was just a red shell. Took about 4 years. Here’s the full story if you’re interested. ELAN PLUS 2S130 Restoration, Before and After - #62
FYI-I also went with the Elantrikbits CV joint replacement. Easy installation, well constructed, excellent service, good price including shipment. Good luck with your efforts!
Also treat the ambient temperature gauge sensing probe cable very carefully. It is very fragile and has an encapsulated gas inside (ether I believe). It will fracture easily with bending or any harsh treatment. Very hard to find a replacement. Don’t ask me how I know this …lol
