Glad you kinda have returned Phil. I think I understand some of the reasons why you have been absent, sometimes I feel the same way. I heard about you joining turbo club. If the definition of turbo club is that loose, I am in turbo club! Might you make it to the Beaverton meet this week? Or are you working? Quote Link to comment

Dawa Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 thisss build is fucking awesome!!!! i dig what you did with the brake bulkhead connectors, great idea Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 its a pain in the ass. Been buying more tools of the trucks. Engine hoist and stands. Two swap 510s.. every step requires a million little steps. Like the rear suspension. The x-member has been stripped. 4" exhaust hole. Do I want the arms to be adjustable or the x-member. Heim joints? Poly or solid bushings? Raise the mounting points 1/2"? Move the mounting points in a 1/8" because that's all the space the exhaust hole allows me. Making new arms. Should I use the stock hub. If I don't then the ermish brake kit is useless. Its the same situation with the front brakes. Should I let some silly caliper brackets stop me from doing what I really want. I could also move the hubs in a bit. Could run some wider wheels.Short nose r200 5 lug hubs. No adapters for cv's. Blah blah blah . I haven't pulled the trigger because I don't know what I want to do. I keep changing my mind. Piling up parts I won't use. I'm glad you guys like it. Forgot how it feels to drive my 510. I do remember the grin Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I remember the grin too NOW GET TO WORK Quote Link to comment
MYDAILYROUTINE Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Come on Phil! You can do it! I can't wait to see pics of you driving it. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 get a junk yard dual cam and lets boost your wagon then the smile can come back. Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I say take your time, you won't be able to do a build like this again. But if you really miss driving it, figure you what stuff you can do later. Like CVs. That way you still have some things to improve on and you can drive it in the meantime. Now how's the wagon?

Josh K. Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I haven't pulled the trigger because I don't know what I want to do. I keep changing my mind. Piling up parts I won't use. I know that exact feeling.... At some point you just gotta say "fuck it" and move forward. Keep it simple or else it will never be done and you'll burn out. Making new rear arms is a great idea in theory but unless your an Automotive engineer with stress analysis software I would seriously think hard about risking your life on such a critical component. Everything you listed is stuff that can always be implemented at a later date. My plan is focus on what I can do to make the car driveable when the sun comes back out. I plan on driving it in an unfinished state to Canby one way or another. We went different routes. You started with the body and all the pretty stuff first. I started with the mechanical components and will do the body/pretty stuff last ;) 1 Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 he has a wagon and every thing to boost it he just needs a short block. this car will not be done for a couple years. Quote Link to comment
