[Eagle_Adam]

Only an insult if you don't fix your own shit :D

[Eagle_Adam]

out with the old and busted

 

out with the mail box key ignition

 

and in with the new and working!

 

Whole dash is apart

 

found the remnants of a mouse nest behind the dash

 

soldered the horn back together

 

new rear shocks

 

painted the new package tray

 

she has a fucking perfect dash pad

[Will]

Are you still going to use this bracket? I've been trying to track one down for a while.

 

out with the mail box key ignition

[Eagle_Adam]

not sure, pm jassifrass

[Eagle_Adam]

flex plate took a shit so Pumpkin and i replaced it with jassifrass

 

 

 

 

 

starts beautifully now :)

 

so when pumpkin came down to swap the flex plate there wasn't a flair tool present so when the hard lines to the trans were cut to remove the trans they still leaked after being re-sleeved..

 

 

Soooooo....

 

i picked up a double flair tool and went to town

 

now the trans shouldn't leak :D

[Eagle_Adam]

time for the final bleed on the breaks after replacing just about everything in the system!

 

and then all hell broke loose

 

i snapped a fucking bleeder valve off in the master ><

 

so i said fuck it and bought these ;)

 

just to snap one off in the bleeder valve so now its time for a new master -.-

[Eagle_Adam]

so until the new master shows up its time to button up some of the smaller detail and other systems that needed help.

 

 

 

Onto the cooling system, it got a new thermostat which helped but didnt solve the delema's at hand

 

think this might be an issue?

 

 

So it was out with all the old hoses and in with some new ones

 

New radiator with fresh paint

 

 

 

and in it goes

 

[Eagle_Adam]

sometimes its the small things, like hazard flashers

 

 

new relay and the problem is solved :D

 

 

So if jassifrass wont update her thread i guess im gunna have to :P

Cooling issues? Do you have a fan shroud for it? That would help a lot.

no fan shroud :hmm: - issue was the car wasnt warming up enough and the heater sucked ass. A new thermostat helped, but didnt solve all the issues. The new radiator is only there to replace the old one that had the auto trans cooler crunched.

[Eagle_Adam]

got the new antenna in!

 

 

its definitely sitting for a while ;)

[Eagle_Adam]

got a few more things ordered today

 

amber high beams

 

door pins and bushings

 

hood bumpers/adjusters

 

idler arm rebuild parts

 

and a new 15/16th master cylinder is on its way too

 

 

Hopefully everything will show up next week so we can finally drop her back on her wheels and drive her!

[datzenmike]

Before installing think about mounting it on the driver's side. Fill the old holes with JB and sand down. The driver's side is better for several reasons but I like:

 

Because it's easier to reach you can run it down when in shitty neighborhoods (it's no longer easy to reach by assholes walking down the sidewalk) or anywhere where backing up might snap it off on a branch.

[Eagle_Adam]

duly noted mike, ill run it past jassifrass, her car not mine :D

[Eagle_Adam]

yay for parts

 

[Eagle_Adam]

more toys

 

[ProjectFeint]

Its the smallest mods that make the biggest difference sometimes especially with 30+ year old bushings :cool: keep it up

yup! i think this is the first time this car has been thoroughly gone through to see what all needed to be done. We have fixed and replaced more small things than big things. Hopefully when we finally get her off the jack stands and moving under her own power again she will be like a new car for jassifrass. Well that's the goal at least :D

 

 

The hood bumpers came from a 280z, i was hoping they would just screw in but no luck. So we just drilled thru and put a nut on both sides

 

 

The master has been bench bled, installed, and plumbed. Still need to bleed it again and then bleed the rest of the breaks.

[MicroMachinery]

Good for you guys. Keep up the good work.

[Eagle_Adam]

new heater core hoses

 

because having them routed around the engine bay with 4 feet of hose is stupid looks dumb

 

 

The new 15/16th's master is in

 

still having issues bleeding it but im not done yet

 

 

 

dash is going back together now that all the new ducting and heater core hoses are in

 

 

Amber high beams are in!

 

grill is out getting sanded and repainted

 

Picked up some seats from a 280
