]2eDeYe Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Get it appraised by a collecter insurance place. http://www.vehicleappraisers.com/Washington_Appraiser.html Fair market value should easily be about $3000 or so on that car, IMHO. Of course, that's before any repairs or upgrades you may have done. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Or the guy who invented the window gasket!! Why does it have to leak??? Even my new one in my other 68 does, why??? stupid water rusting out floors :( I got some more work done on her, with a little time she will be on the road. I was really fun, Frank was working on his engine bay and I was working on mine. He is farther but I'm not to far behind :D I took some pics!! :D Gotta love the iPhone!!! Slowly.... Soon it will be back to its classyness! Kill rust install shinny new paint :D What kind of wire wheel did you have on your drill to get that paint and stuff off? I was thinknig about getting a regular 3" diameter wire wheel, but that one in the top picture looks like a wire wheel brush or something Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Well the insurance is still trying to fuck me, I talked with them a bit on the phone today... I'm not giving up!!!! Carter just sold a 2 door with more damage than mine for 2100 bucks!!! Somehow my car is only worth 1600:blink: Anyways.... We installed the door and hood today :D turned out nice :D Thanks to my 2 buddies Rizzo and Nillon. Before: After: Total loss they say... Fuckers!! looks great icehouse unless the pics arent showing somthing id call it done now correct me if im wrong but couldnt you show them you fixed it tell them how much it cost you (obviously telling them it cost about double) and have them reemburse you? but i suppose they would want resepts and such in that case Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 looks great icehouse unless the pics arent showing somthing id call it done The quarter is still a little squished :( But not bad the door shuts perfect, since the quarter is in primer the dent isn't so obvious. So its good enough for now :D I talked to the insurance dick again today..... Still getting bent over :( Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Looks great Jeff. You need to get that valence fixed now, then the body would be pretty damn straight. And with regards to the insurance shit...in the words of Eric Cartman: (Cartman voice)Your breaking my balls man!(Cartman voice) Quote Link to comment

SIXTY-NINE-DIME Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thought I would post a pic of my dime since its on the road. We spent a couple days and got it together for Canby. Well I've been driving it ever since even though it needs a few things :D I was originally trying to get a FJ20et from Bob harald but after calling him every Friday for a month or so I figured he wasn't in to big of a hurry to sell it. Now I keep thinking I should try and keep it stock since there is no sense having a SR 510 and an FJ 510. At the moment I don't mind the L series but carbs do get old haha. I guess if I wasn't missing some linkage they wouldn't be so bad haha. So at least for now the plan is to keep it as stock as possible. Lowering it doesn't count though :D haha i bought my dime from bob... at first i thought he was a little shady but he's giving me the missing parts so its all good... i might have to get that fj from him =] maybe even have him put it in... i have people in high places lol (crazy alcoholic uncle scares the shit out of him lol) Quote Link to comment
Jason Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hey Jeff, I retuned the carbs, I think I should have another go at your L motor now :D! Quote Link to comment

Or start the lost tittle thing? Dude an Fj would be sweet!!! I tried to buy that one... Now I have a KA in the works. Hey Jeff, I retuned the carbs, I think I should have another go at your L motor now :D! I don't know I had quite a lead on you... they must have been really far off :D Wait until I get some EFI on her :D Quote Link to comment
Jason Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yah, the tune was pretty far off, I had to set the mixtures, re balance and richen from there. You got pretty far up on me on that on ramp though! In fact right now it's still set a little lean, I have to pass smog this month somehow before I richen it up any more. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 You'll have to come down so we can race :D Quote Link to comment

I don't know I had quite a lead on you... they must have been really far off :D Wait until I get some EFI on her :D i went in got an abandoned vehicle report to fill out than have a sheriff come and inspect it but i need to move my car from franks house first... so im on a mission to find a place for it. once i get the title ill start tearing it apart and cleaning up. i'd like to find a ka but bobs 510 is sooooooo damn nice. i fell in love with it when i saw it Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Got the pulley machined for the EDIS, Yeah!! The lathe can be a bitch!! It took me 3 tries to get the pulley holder the right size.... In the end I was victorious!! Now I just need to make a bracket to hold the pick up... I think that part may be harder. Its on Steve!!!

Duke Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Looking good Jeff. Makes me want to do edis on my KA. Maybe a summer project... The lathe can be a bitch!! Tell me about it! I just had to do some threading for one of my classes. Did it on my first try, but damn it takes forever! Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Its on Steve!!! I'm not concerned with who gets it done fastest. I'm more interested in both of us getting it done. I have a ton of other stuff to do to my car first - suspension and some interior first. Looks good. Did I say I would "race" you to getting the EFI done first? Or did I say I was building an L series that will beat an SR? I have a bit of advice. In my first 510 project thread, I mention using an EDIS V8 Crown Victoria cam sensor as a VR sensor instead of the Escort VR sensor. The Crown Vic cam sensor mounts with a single screw. A MUCH cleaner solution. It is the same type of sensor and works fine. I did use this on my last 510. I am sure it works. Edited December 16, 2008 by slodat Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 You should do EDIS on your KA, I'm just not a fan of a dizzy. To me it's better having a computer work out the spark, not old mechanical junk. They do make Megaspark systems too. I think my biggest problem is I came from construction, an 1/8th of an inch is nothing in construction but a huge amount when it comes to machining. Quote Link to comment

I'm going to be focusing on my SR for the next few weeks, I just want to get the EDIS working in hopes that my daily commute will be better. As for the sensor I have a few of the escort ones so I'm going to build my bracket around it. Hopefully I can figure something out to make it adjust and look nice :D I'm just really excited about finally using MS!!! Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Lookin good, I'll be following this build for sure to see how it works out! Quote Link to comment
Jason Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 That's awesome Jeff, you should turn out a couple more and sell me one ;)! Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Okay but I charge 5 dollars an hour so that will be about 100 bucks for 3 haha maybe you should wait until I'm a little better at the mill :D I kept the jig I made so if anyone needs on later :D Quote Link to comment
Jason Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hmm... well, at least you got practice in on the first one! $5 an hour, crap, you're hired! Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 $5 an hour, crap, you're hired! Ditto!!!!!! :) Great stuff Jeff!! Quote Link to comment
