Hey guys,
Not much to report today, sent my door panel cards to the other side of the island to get fixed and fiberglass and then smoothen down and to get threadlock cause want to put back on the brackets this evening.
Both are out and getting fix cause they tend to break by just even making heavy eye contact so wont get them til end of the month.
Top left is what i ordered, bottom left is what i sprayed but it got fuzzy. On the right is what i picked up today at a local sewing/fabric store that have all kinds of colours and i was like "well Duh! Should have came here before ordering"
So those will be going on the door panel cards once it's complete, gotta keep with the theme
Here we are, alternator and A/C compressor will be placed in once the engine is in.
Looks nice eh? I like it too.
See ya guys on the next follow up

Soon to collect and install once the engine is back in.
More photos up soon
Intake manifold will be getting powder coated.

So guys,
been a whole lotta stuff happening
Door inserts for panels are on and drilled in, not going in til interior interior is done. The door panel carts have cushion in them courtesy to Jeff Upholstery.
So the subframe was the task for today since my crane went down before i even got to start it.
(What i operate)
So while they were at the crane I went ahead and go at dismantle the subframe.
Yes it is unbelievable in a mess, end of Feb it shall be looking brand new.
First end bushings were pretty easy to come out....the middle one.......my lord, terrible!
Little buggers were a hard one to get out but got them out thanks to my pal at work who's a welder.

So been busy at work but this is the update on the steering system
Thinking of turning the head around
This need cleaning up and out
Thinking of running it this way so i can have easy access to the ChaseBay P/S delete kit
Does anyone know what to use to clean out the steering rack with and what to fill it back with?
I'm proposing on clean it with diesel but i want to know what to fill it back up before i connect it back up.
Let me know if thats a good idea.

Morning guys, its been awhile so lets get to it.
Subframe parts have been powdercoated, just picked it up yesterday.
So the Pinion now i'm going at, gonna get new booths tomorrow but gonna clean up all of that dirty oil inside and get that spic and span
Ofcourse you know, going to be using my favourite purple blaster and CRC degreaser to take all thr dirt and build up off.
Then wire brush the paint on the black part off and get it prepped for the Epoxy and black clearcoat spray.
