freekwonder Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Nice car cave. Thanks. I'm trying to come up with ideas to organize and setup it. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 You should have someone build a garage on your property and not tell you about it.. I think that is the only way to have a clean organized garage,,, ever. What i did to the 510 was We searched around for the battery and installed it then spread mats on rear seat to load stinky dog in back so i could drive Uberkevin home yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment

edekalil Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Back home at the coffee shop. Several people stopped and asked about the car. Plan to drive her today and tomorrow while it's nice weather. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 When you gonna wax that thing?!? ^_^ Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 When you gonna wax that thing?!? ^_^Ya you right. That's the problem with working out of town and having to many cars to keep going. It's been down for a while and just changed it to a stick. But recently she's been running very well. I'm just glad at the moment to drive her while she's running good. It really needs a real paint job. But I will put some wax on her in the near future. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Put her away in the car cave.here she is with her friends. Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 finally bought and installed locks for the rack. Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 What did you use to make the bushings? Well, I didn't necessarily make them, I just worked with an eight pack of store bought brass door bushings. I used the smallest diameter ones, cut a slot in them with a hacksaw, pinched them together, and pressed them in with a vice. It takes two packs to repair one door set. Two bushings I had, and I had to buy another pack to complete it. I'm sure you could find them individually for cheaper if you're doing a whole car. I made brass shifter bushings using the same method. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 At the coffee shop with my friend. She is still running fine so far. Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 There is a hinge rebuild kit that had the correct bushing and pin, the pin is just too long. I can't for the life of me remember what the part number is though Quote Link to comment
