Noice!

 

^Sexy white one 13x. . .

 

Got that rear axle out! Super excited for the project, will be interesting..

 

what ocean did you pull that differential out of?

 

well i drove it :P doing an oil change and checking gear oil in the trans on sunday

 

ty ty

I don't use the term usually ... but it is "sexy"

not a beastie but there are surely plans for it, first wave to be complete by WHiV6

thank you sir


quick FYI gents .... the white one is the wifes
see plans on daily driving it

plugs got fouled when she tried to take it out while I was at work, so of course this evening was pull the SA into garage when I got back and swapping the plugs on the GSL ....

quick clip of it first drive since we've had it

 

Pulled the trans out of the parts car. We had been having too much fun driving it around and managed to snap the shaft at the reverse gear.

 

Then I suggest you not nickname it 'A Pale Horse.' She might Google the reference and take offense!

 

Drilling 24 holes in a perfect paint job made me queasy, but the outcome was pretty sweet!

 

well considering it's been 2 1/2 years'ish ... and it had an engine, exhaust and etc installed and has been running for all but the first 2 weeks of that 2 1/2 years when she was finally able to drive it I told her it must be the 7th sign

 

Installed my new drilled and slotted rotors, and changed out an axle shaft and bearing.



Was tired of my phone charger, gps, or etc charging cord always being in the way. Since the cigarette lighter wasn't designed back then to be a charging port.
I made one with a regular 12 volt plug in, and a USB charging port, its wired to constant hot with an on/off rocker switch.

 

Also made a fiberglass electric fan shroud. I was gonna paint it, but decided to spray it with a thin coat of bedliner.

 

A parts yard not too far from my house. Nice find, from a somewhat clean GSL with 174k miles on it. Will be rebuilt and done up perfectly before being installed with all new bushings. Pretty stoked

 

That is what we live with up here - most of these cars rotted away years ago in this state - Its a great find for our area - Good job Lindahlish

 

This is why I come to this forum - I learn something new every day

 

Ordered the manifold for the Camden, got the wideband bung in, the dual EGT came in a few days ago. Got some wiring and plumbing ahead of me, should be a productive week.

 

finished my exhaust last night. the car still sounds like a pure race car but doesnt have the nasty popping of open headers. it is fun to drive now that i can hear the engine over the exhaust :p

 

What flares are those? They look great.

 

Over the weekend I continued to work on the left front wheel on my 85 GSL-SE. The spring had collapsed before I bought the car and the shock was shockingly bad. I bought oem springs for the front and oem replacement cylinders. This was a much more difficult task that I expected. I dont have an impact wrench so to get the locknut off the end of the shock I ended up using hacksaw disassembly techniques. Then grinding flats on the strut shaft so I could grip it in a vise and finally wrench off the locknut. The 52mm cap on the original strut was also stuck in place. The original shocks were rebuildable so getting rid of the oily guts of the original was somewhat messy. Anyway, the new cylinder is installed, just have to put it all back together on the car and then do the other side. It would probably be advantageous to replace the rubber bits in the front suspension while I have it apart.

 

Cool to hear you got it off. Definitely redo the "rubber bits" while it's off - you'd regret it if you didn't. Welcome, by the way

I'm starting seriously researching my suspension upgrades, liking what I see

 

I gave my car a uni brow...

I inttended on just covering up the flaking rusty paint, but it looks more like a uni brow. Or maybe she is just immitating my thick black rimed buddy holly bc glasses.

 

Wow that came out nice!

 

today I started on my winter project "project : Ghetto ITB"

step 1. fully strip my old Weber 50 DCO/SP...

 

Thanks! They're a copy of a set of ZG flares that are made for old Datsun 240z/280z models.
