Its a great feeling when it fires for the first time

Polished the **** out of my new wheels. Need to repack the front wheel bearings, then I will put the shiny rollers on

 

I have a gsl-se with 4x114.3 bolt pattern, i found some dope riken mesh 15x7's for 300 bucks but their pattern is 4x110 so i orderd 16 wobble nuts aka variation nuts and made a custom spacer on my lathe to fit the center bore to my car.
Now i have to wait a couple of days for these special nuts and i will be rolling in style hopefully

 

Oh and yesterday i fitted a full road race streetport exhaust system from racing beat, and my car sounds wicked!! I just need to clean up my 6port actuators and sleeves and make sure that theres enough back pressure coming from the exhaust because the actuators don't appear to be working right now.
When i get a good interned ill create a detailled build thread about my car because ive done alot of work on it recently! Cheers

 

Ahhhhh SO much oil in my 82's exhaust, its kind of silly. I think I am going to pull it off, and put some sort of solvent down it. Hell maybe even ball a rag and tie a rope around an pull it through...

Oh I changed the oil in my 87' and put 100 miles on her today.

 

Put wheels on, drove around, felt cool.

 

Got all my electronics working.
Door chimes, security system, high beams, and wiper blades all work now.

 

i started the rat nest removal but didn't get very far

 

Got my 3500 rpm hesitation fixed on my 87'. Idle is still to low, about 500 rpm. The idle air screw has been chewed up (cant get a grip on it), and has wedge its self stuck good.

Any ideas on how to go about removing it? Drill and tap or is there some trick?

 

These cars came with door chimes!?

lol

As for what I did today... well I tried to get time away from my family and friends to go work on it, but it seems none of it will have it until tomorrow haha

PS @twilight slide
good lookin rex

 

Put oil in gearbox and rear end. Whoo hoo for external electric pumps..

 

LOL yup.

I actually learned the FC66 have a chime rather then buzzer.
Not particularly pleased about that part, but definitely happy my high beams, factory security system, and my wipers work.

Only had to replace 2 parts for all of it too. That stupid FC66 CPU and the damned wiper switch lol.

Also I vacuumed, washed, polished, and wax my Vert today.

 

I found my Tein hood dampers' retainer clips that have been missing for several years. Somehow they ended up in the very back of the silverware drawer... I installed them and now the dampers no longer fall off when I open the hood

 

LOL you did say you wanted another project. Were was it.

 

True. I saved it from pull and save

 

time for the bumper to go back on

 

LOL Turbo is almost as big as the engine. You going to have it done for the BBQ

 

Its all done.
Now if i can make it to a bbq. Lots going on lately.

 

Slowly making some progress on this one. Did brakes, changed to SS braided lines, collecting 5spd swap parts, lots of stuff goin on here... Put in RB header and a crappy fitting cat-back, recharged my intake, changed all my fluids (coolant was brown!!!) Steam cleaned my carpets and seats. KYB rear struts, Working on stereo... buffed and waxed, removed all stickers, Put in a bigger front strut tower bar. Waiting for springs... and tinted the windows lol.

See pics and note* Marshall NEEDS SPRINGS!!

 

Replaced PD with a banjo bolt and toweled it off. Going for 14psi soon...

 

Recovered my rear parcel tray . Needed to hide those early Seventies Jensen speaker grills. Now i'm in the 80's

 

Removed the brass shavings from my center and end plate oil passages.

 

Helped put in some killer rats nest color coded rotor stickers in the '83 ...

 

nothing but look at its filthy *** sitting in my garage.

 

I GOT MY KEG PUT TOGETHER!

Happy Independence Day everyone!!

 

Removed engine, installed streetlight flywheel, HD pressure plate. Fitted FD water pump and serpentine belts, and am about to install 275/50/15s.

Then it's on for an engine bay paint job.
