Spent the last 2 days with my 14 yo son getti my 85 gslse running again and smoothly! It痴 been down for the last 4 years or so. Just needs alignment and paint eventually.

 

Way to go, guys! Tell us some more about it.

 

what's up

I recall the wipers were an issue as well, did you sort that out?

 

160k on original engine, RB exhaust, RE speed braided brake and clutch lines, ST springs, tokico blue shocks. My 3rd car that I致e had for for 25 years. Biggest issue now is right front wheel run on springs (stock wheel and tire size). Not sure if it痴 all my new tie rods are just way out of whack or my control arm is bent. Taking it to alignment shop once I find a trailer.

 

Wipers issues were a gunked up linkage. Clean and lube and maybe not 100% again but quite usable.

edit - hey what痴 up Joe! Still have your car and in Austin?

 

Yes on both, still going to fix the AC on it "soon".

Can you describe the suspension issue? Are you saying the right front tire is touching the spring like it's got bad camber?

 

I still have the ac compressor and lines so eventually? Haha

Yea the spring issue is too much camber. Tried a new spring hat and all 4 adjustments that offers but it still rubs. Wheel bearings are tight w no slop. These are brand new tires and I did notice the old tire has a nice rub groove so not a new issue. Just more audible now.

 

Glad to hear its back up and running, especially with help from your son. I've been trying to get my boys in the garage to tinker but it's a struggle!
