Little Stuff

I took the body back off after mocking up the gas tank and the steering wheel. I also mounted the oil cooler and the new trany and hooked up the linkage to make sure it fit. Now I have to pull everything off and paint. Getting closer to my first spin.

EWWW, AAAH, OOOH

Nice new trans. Beefed up of course. Now I need to find some time to swap them out.

headlight grilles

oh yeah, i put these on... very useful...

nothing works

got new spindle nuts from wolfsburg west, they don't fit...

thought i could fit the steering damper in there... nope, need to replace or re-bend the brake line from the reservoir to the master cylinder...

thought i had bent the rear brake lines enough to clear the shocks... nope, need to try to bend them more or just get new lines and re-do them completely...

tried to fire it up... nope... all that it would do was turn the starter... when i went back to take a look (not that i know what to look for), there was gas sitting on top of the fuel pump (had to look it up to know that it was the fuel pump)... so, not sure if the fuel pump is leaking, or if it's normal that i pumped that pedal too much and it seeped out...

good times... i think i am going backwards now... at least it ran when i got it...
