I bought a dial indicator, 2 jaw pullers and a few odds and ends to replace the 4.10 stock gears with 4.77. Ordered some camber bolts to replace the old tired ones, and some nice new boots for the ball joints in the front end.

Not 7 but, I finally got to rolling the fenders on Bob's RX-4 GT-R. It has GSL-SE suspention on the front However with this modification it sat about 2" off the ground. Gambone made some spacers for the strut assemblys, we got those installed and now it sits about 4" off the ground. Plenty of clearence in the fender wells now too.

Today I did alot!

I finished up tidying my deloomed harness and reloomed. Then I wired my HEI ignition modules to the dizzy and coils for my DLIDFIS, wired fuel pump up w/relay, installed throttle lever on my weber, fabbed a quick bracket and connected throttle. crawled underneath and connected starter to relocated battery, and finally found a temp, fan rad combo to work. Put a little MMO in the housings and prepped her to be started for the first time since I brought her home! tomorrows the day. Run baby run!
