Yesterday Dougs951S and I were driving around town in my 83 and the shifter linkage failed. We decided to swap in a Schnell SSK on the side of the road, at around 2:30am. Big thanks to Doug for being a homie and helping me out. The linkage failed at the snap ring, it came out of the groove. This particular linkage was one of the first ones I rebuilt with thrust bearings about 6 m ago, I guess the McMaster carr snap ring is a little too thick for the groove.
Today, I replaced my front wheel bearings and trimmed the brake dust shields a bit to make room for the 4-piston Volvo calipers that are going on once the paint cures fully.
Next weekend will be the rear wheel bearings. I'm on track to have all suspension wear items rebuilt or replaced with new before the winter. All that's left after the bearings is to do the rear bushings.
just bought it yesterday and talked the guy all the way down to 1250.00, drove it home 30 min away, sanded it today and painted it but left some parts for my younger brother to do but he bailed so im doing it myself tomorrow. here it is:
Enjoyed A drive in my 944 Turbo With my Wife, We went From Venice Beach to Mt. Wilson California, After a full engine rebuild, Koni fully Adjustable suspension, all bushings replaced, ground control camber plates, and front Zimmerman Brake crossed drill rotors and other extras.
finished sanding and flat blacking it. now to get front fenders, rims, tint, interior, seats, drive shaft, and wide body kit. after that (small cosmetics for my pleasure) its time to rebuild and add hp to the engine/find an engine to swap out.
In the process of getting my car ready for Northern Wörthersee(NoWo) tomorrow morning.
Halfway done polishing and need to do a coat of wax and vacuuming when I get off work in 3 hours.
finished temporarily blacking out almost everything inside and out
I know its not pretty, but for a temporary quick fix to make working on the engine and waiting for my body kit, it will do
My timing belt / water pump / seals ++ projects continues. Today I removed the oil cooler and prepped everything for reinstall. However realized I don't have o-ring and washer for the oil pressure switch and washer for sender unit. Replaced the crankshaft seal, o-ring & oil pump sleeve - all went well. What's left: install oil cooler, install balance shaft seals, install cam tower, replace fuel lines, install water pump, install belts, install new hoses.
