Too cool!

I just discovered another set of strut inserts buried in the car that say Bilstein Sports. Thank You Ed.

It's going to be interesting to see how many times I put it together and take it apart. Here I am putting on the control arms and the rack and pinion are still on the bench. Already getting ahead of myself.








I'm just gonna park this right here for future use.

After an hour of driving the cab up in the hills I've gotten to work. Nothing too crazy hard.

I'd suggest having fine sandpaper handy for cleaning up the holes used for the ball joint. Polished up the ball pin and the strut hole as well as the bolt hole. I've got a round arbor that holds circular sandpaper that is perfect for inside holes. Everything went together with a bit of pounding with the dead blow hammer.

A bit of a side project.

Helped out a buddy with some turbo tie rods. Not sure I was much help, but it was fun.

That one over there on the side is a showroom clean Delorean.

Sorry guys, had a bad back for a bit and now my mother-in-law has died under questionable circumstances. I will get to her, I promise.

Pepsi called--they want their pallet back.

oh.

and you lucky bastards with 12 months of perfect weather [(minus a couple earthquakes, Santa Ana's, fire and brimstone and the odd epic swells (like this week)] for working on cars.

It will be three months the end of this week but it is beginning to be worth it. Complete re-paint (same colors but bolder side striping). Found some non structural rust starting as well as some partial repaints over the years and the associated door dings. So off came the doors, fenders, bumpers etc and all glass and the re-paint. While it was apart we did some upgrades such as brakes and a few other small things including all new rubber seals. Hope to have it back next week. Rather poor phone picture

Wow!!!

You won't find much conversion help here. Your car is missing the best part.
