thanks brother, its hard not to rush through this semi build. I've been carless for almost 4 years, 3 of it was in the city where my fixie and Honda hawk got me to and from work and play. i now live in suburbia where u need a car to get anywhere. sux
When i picked it up last November, i thought i would strip the car down and take my sweet ass time putting it back together, yeah ok. All i look forward to now, is the day i push the pedal down and it goes. last thing i want is to go boom on that first drive, so im keeping a pace i know gives me time to attend to possible weak links as i kinda clean up the mess i paid for.
so far so good, i have about 2700(price of car included) into it. i've built road bikes twice that amount so yeah so far so good. i know i don't yap much on this thread, but i'ii make up for it in person, for im sure i'll meet a few of u and kill you slowly with endless questions.
A buddy stopped by today saw the car an said "when u gonna git that thang runnin" so i finished up the hood latch, front bumper & worked on the ic pipe routing a bit. we talked about going halvesies on a aluminum welder, we'll see(getting fed up ov waiting on people)
again so far so good, here is the remainder ov my list for those who care.
install ss brake lines
weld up ic piping
get alu 1g bpv flange
weld in flex pipe and wide band o2 bung
remove fix & reinstall rear steering hose
power steering pump rebuild
wiring to thermostat housing & fuel pump
find fuel gauge sender
install rear sub-frame bushings
build datalogger cable, pick up a palm
aaaaand... i forget.. there's always more
as usual i'll share as i go along.
Ade.
