New project: 1976 Cosmo RX-5

More stuff happening. Pretty much all taken apart, waiting on parts!

What is this malarkey?

Looking pretty.

Here is what is left, and what is happening with the beast.

The GSL-SE stuff is going to have to wait until summer/fall to be fabbed/installed. The front struts and rear axle need to be completely rebuilt, and I don't have the funds for that right now. Since I already rebuilt the Cosmo rear end last fall, I figured fuck it, I'll just run the Cosmo stuff.

Fun fact, the Cosmo rotors are bigger than the GSL-SE stuff....

The front is all apart, waiting on ball joints, sway links, and brake pads to show up. Trans is out and getting resealed. New Exedy clutch is here.

One issue that I found yesterday....the horror of fuel that sat in a tank for 15 years....
