Believe me when I tell you that a good close-ratio gearbox will knock your socks off.

Together with that nice motor and the RS LWF kit, you won't know what hit you.

How did you get the suspension arm THAT clean, or it new?

I am sure you will find something, and as you know, they are more fun when you don't start upside down price wise.

Well....... You have said it before...... and I believe you. I can't wait to get to that point. It seems someone has your suggested gearing in their signature. I may have to find that for reference.

I hope your health is better. Thanks for all the work and information you have so generously provided. She is going to be a beauty when she is done.

Oh that...... that was easy. Just do the trade program, and Andreas will take care of it for you.

If only! I live in Australia, so that is a bit of a problem, plus I have bought new bushes.

Alas.... then maybe brake cleaner and a few wire brushes.

Well I guess it is time for a quick update. I received the parts from FDM and rebuilt the front diff. I installed it, then installed the rebuilt steering rack. I replaced the lines to the rack while I was at it. The next step will be the front end. I decided to replace the tie rods,drop links, and ball joints on the front. The entire front end will basically be new. Once I have it all together, I will drop the suspension, and replace the rotors as well. Slow but sure.... she is coming back to life. She should be pretty tight when done.

And then?

Well.... I have all the goodies on the front end bolted up. She shoild be pretty tight considering I replaced just about everything. I just got the paint for the calipers, so that is next. I will then drop the suspension, paint the wheel wells, then replace shocks, springs, rotors,and install freshly painted calipers.

Pictures when there is more progress.........

Well, time for a little update. I dropped the suspension, painted the wheel wells, then replaced shocks, springs, rotors,and installed freshly painted calipers. I went with the Koni FSD shocks and MO33 springs.
I dropped the engine and transmission, and took the transmission to my favorite indy for a re-gear. I then did the SSk and Golden Rod combo from Fister.
Today the mechanic came and picked up the engine I built, then had the car trucked to his shop. He will mate everything up when he completes the transmission.
