svo521 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Got the frame cleaned up where the tabs go. Got them tacked in place to the angle Iron just before the welder ran out of gas. Gonna fry it all up in the morning while its cool out. Air cooled engines don't like this heat so im trying to be easy on the ol girl :-) Battery removed from truck and microsquirt completely disconnected from wiring..... im not paranoid of cooking my investment.... not at all.....

Have the tabs on one side welded in going to be done with the LCA tabs tomorrow and than Ill start on the seats. Quote Link to comment

svo521 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Never in my life have i fought with a tie rod as much as i am with these ones... they must be original :-( Shock and fall isn't cutting it yet.... time to quit using my purse and grab the BFH! hehe. Quote Link to comment
svo521 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Tie rods done got the ride height dialed in but i may have to get 450 or 500 pound springs (thought 400 would be good) because im using about 60% +/- of the adjusting threads. I will have to see how it drives first... was Going to post some current pics but the wife is using the "stupid" phone so im going to update everything i currently have on fotochucket :hyper: I know this info is out there already..... but maybe this will help anyway... old master cylinder about to get canibalized..... clip removed ....you gotta use the rod but cut the ball end off..... and add an extension to extend inside the new master cylinder got distracted helping a friend at his shop wire up and tune this Opel wagon :-) waiting on parts for it right now new master cylinder needs the holes filed a bit to bolt up as does the hole in the firewall... ok here's one of the dozen or so times I mocked things almost there! got my dead short fixed(voltage regulator) so i just need to bleed the brakes, balance the front tires and get it aligned :-) I will post more pics tomorrow or maybe tonight B) Quote Link to comment
