Z chopper Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Thanx micro! I've always focused on makin her run and stop but I do try to add the cosmetic fixes in when I can. One day she will be sitting on titans with a flat black paint job and the most annoying lime Green pinstriping I can find!!! I have seen a bright green flame pinstripe kit locally. Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 break shoes are in too! now all i need is the other wheel bearings and im off to the races after work !!! Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 figures the only thing i dont get from rock auto today is one set of the front wheel bearings :mad: - and they gave me the wrong wheel seals for the rear so no progress last night. So i did the front breaks on one of my little bro's friends 96 sentra and installed the center console on the truck instead :D Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 got the last set of wheel bearings just waiting on a few seals to replace the wrong ones rockauto sent me -.- Should have her back up and driving tonight :D Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Round 2 - here we go! I picked up the right seals at baxtersand also got a socket the size of the seals to help get them in nice and strait. Everything went in nicely this time round, so i moved on to cleaning up the adjusters Assembly On to the rear breaks! Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Looking good! Thanx man, i wont be able to make it to your race tomorrow, i ended up having a leaky rear wheel cylinder. The new ones will be in at 10am and i have some other shit to do. PM me with your race schedule if you have one, i still wanna see one. Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 got the rear breaks started and found a leaky wheel cylinder so im on hold until the AM So while im waiting i got the wheel seals replaced, cleaned and greased the rear adjusters, and cleaned up what i could.
