labor Day weekend update#1
Making good progress today. I have the crossmember, lower control arms with RE-Speed bushings back in place. As well the sway bar mounts are in place but will be removed to actually mount the sway bar when it is dry enough( couple hours more) The struts and knuckles have been painted black as well as the debris gaurds.
Also I have installed the clutch and brake m/c's. That is the worst part of the whole job to me. I am a big guy at 6'2 and 2-210 lbs. So contorting myself into inverted chicken wing stance sucks
But it is done.
Ah yes, I can't forget that I re-wrapped the entire enginebay wire harness main section so far. The plug on leads are next( Starter, etc..) That took a long ass time as well just sitting there burning thru 2 roles of electrical tape. But it is mucho bettero!! Lots of pics to come later on tonight. It may even be on the ground on it's wheels tonight. We'll see.
Still to do:
Clean and paint steering linkage parts.
Paint the tranny aluminum to match the engine.
Paint all the little brake line hold-down thingymabobs.
Install the engine and trans
Paint the headlight motors and brakets.
Something else,....hmmm, oh yeah fix the bloody radiator or replace it
