Nice car...you can't deny character

 

T/you....guys...today I took the gas tank down!! and open it in half..sand blast it..and weld it back...looks new..the gas lines were block off with gunk..I took the out, and for some of you this is a nice trick..I took my torch and heat the line up and all that gunk came out like play Doh!!! then just brake clean and air...tomorrow put it back together!! and I will let you know!!

 

today I got it running!!!! after i clean the carb...it run's good...yay and the clutch is good...now do some brake work..

 

today i got the tank back from the sand blaster, going to inst a 3/8 pick up line...and then brace it close... in the other hand took out the power train out of the rx4.

 

Killer glc mine is the same color , If you have any conversion questions hit me up , I am about half way done with my glc. Rear end and suspension are done on mine , this weekend I'm gonna throw in the 12a and trans I have sitting around .P.S. are you interested in selling the cubby under your dash ?

 

Nice score, I wonder why they painted the grille.


Keith

 

I know!!! right..im going to painted back to black.

 

T/you..man Ill keep you in mind,..lol no..the cubby stay.
im using the cross member and the motor mount cross member from the rx4!!
how did you inst the hidro pedal and pump??

 

If you look carefully at the sheet metal the stamping for the clutch master cylinder is already there, you just need to cut out the hole. as for pedals...I used a 79 rx7 one. At first I was gonna take out the whole pedal box and swap (my glc was automatic), but then I saw how similar the two pedal boxes were and decided to use just the longer through bolt from the rx7 with the glc pedal box and rx7 brake and clutch pedals. you are on your own for fabbing up a master cylinder push rod since the rx7 one will be too short. I ended up using a bolt that was about an inch longer than the rx7 push rod and turing it down on a grinder

 

ok!!! I have the pedal assy from the rx4.. u think it will fit??

 

yes i dont see why not

 

cool..... how about the trans tunnel?? i have to cut mine? or because im using the factory rx4 cross member and mount support!! i don't have to.
