No updates
Well, it's been a bit, my dad having robbed me of my camera, I have no new pictures.
What I've been able to do so far:
Ran all my fuel lines from the cell to the engine, and back from the engine to the cell.
Made most of my brake lines, the rear is plumbed, and when I rebush my front suspension, I'll have the rest flared and ready to go.
Rebushed the rear suspension, sort of, I realized I hadn't ordered 2 sets of new rear shackle bushes, so I had to reorder one more set.
Lowered the rear with 2" blocks, although I'm debating if I'd rather go with a 3" drop.
Got my Locort wheels primed, painted and cleared.
Got the battery mounted in the trunk.
I was working on installing the trans tonight, but ran into a bit of a problem, there's a 1/4" gap all around and the trans isn't sitting flush with the motor. Will have to pull the clutch/flywheel apart to make sure I have the right pilot bearing. Realized I should buy a new clutch too, so I'll have to order that as well.
Seems like nothing wants to fit just right on the 1st go around on this car. Oh well, I suppose that's part of the fun....
