I painted the gas tank that I've been working on..coming along pretty good so far..need to put on a couple of more coats to get it looking "right"..Pretty rough when I started. Then today, I was able to finally change the transmission main shaft seal..Thanks guyus for the help with the drawings and all..really helped a lot!

was running really hot this past weekend...105 degrees and AC on full blast sure taxes the cooling system.

just applied some "racer tape" to all the air gaps around the fan shroud, got to suck as much through the core as i can...

Raised the rear ride height. She was squatting a bit too much with a full tank. Passenger side torsion bar had to be indexed with all the joys that that entails.

US spec is 543mm for the rear. I was shooting for 500 with a full tank and 515 sucking fumes. The front is 611mm and it is hovering around 580 depending on fuel level.

Test drive went well...1.6 camber in the rear and 0.5 up front. A little wag in the transitions but acceptable. I will get the strings out when it reaches a half tank.

A little under cleaning.
Looks like the previous owner had the car sprayed with a waxy yellow undercoat. Any tricks to get it off

ive been wire brushing it.

That's is anti corrosive/cosmoline for shipping over salt water. Old brake fluid eats it fairly well but I just leave the pantia.

Pulled the NGKs and slipped in the triple electrode bosch...running it hard on shell nitro premium. I put some techron in a couple tanks ago.
