My compliments on your organization and "small parts management."



Good luck as you complete your project!

All in all I didnt' get **** done.......partly b/c i was locked in a junk yard.........but got some free parts out of the deal...

If you use a impact it will be a lot easier.

For the ppl that have done the manual conversion do you use the FC tie rods/ends?

when I lined them up the FC's were about 2 inches shorter. It was hard to tell b/c my FC's tie rod was broken. I didnt' look like there would be enough thread left to be safe.

The FD tie rods do not fit the FC's (figured I could try that since the rack it's self is the exacty same lenght).

In a couple weeks' I'll prolly go junkyard diving again......

The military won't let me have a mullet.................

I would love a heated garage and enough room to pull my car all the way in.

I had the luxury of using a shop once..... it was almost too easy to work on stuff.........

btw this is where Joe Dirt lives











-red FC in back and the FD are mine. The other FC I gave to a friend.

Yeah my dad often makes fun of my cars........

"If only they were reliable as my shadow..............."

After the rebuild though, it's solid and nothing has broken in about 1/2 year (crosses fingers).
