awesome, thanks a lot.... I might have more of these threads coming up. As i go through all my stuff, i keep finding odds and ends items like this.
-
i have been rummaging through boxes trying to organize stuff, and i came acorss an engine box. These are the brackets that i think are for the AC ? Any help?
-
awesome, thanks a lot. For that kind of money you might as well just get a new center link.
-
i a interested in this also....I currently have a PS setup, but everything is shot in it. Is the difference in the center link and like mentioned above, do you HAVE to replace the gear box?
-
Too much of the non repopped metal is gone. walk away unless you can get if for $200
-
Ran the rear brake lines lastnight
Put on the dust shields and rotors, ready for shocks and springs - i also started to prep the steering links to be installed.
Quick picture of the trunk cut in and the fuel tank in place.

Great write up and pics
-
looks good ! underside looks awesome.
-
Took some soaking, but i got the carrier cleaned up, and painted (this was before I installed the snubber mount and Yoke)
Replaced the wheel seals and bearings, which wasn't too bad. I picked up a 12 ton press to do the job. It was cheaper than paying someone else.
I also ran all the fuel lines and dropped in the fuel tank for some mock up.
I want the car to appear correct (undercoat over spray on rails) but i am not going 100% concours.
Not the best pic, but the lighting sucks and its a camera phone:
First time the wheels have been under the car in over 2 years!!!!!
-
where are you located?
-
Made it out to the garage for about an hour and a half last night. Fired up the heater and did some painting.
Finished the underside of the lower control arms
I took a flap wheel to the axle housing, cleaned it all up, primed and painted it satin black
Next up will be to clean the carrier, paint it, and then clean up the mess i made in the new garage...
-
yeah, i did not go heavy on the rotor surface. That is to keep it from getting rusty while the car sits. It could honestly be two more years before the brakes are ever used.
-
I got some time in on the car lastnight.
I cleaned, primed and painted the spindles, Rotors and lower control arms. Satin Black
Busted off the strut rod bushings and got the new ones out for install
I need to run a die over the thread on my strut bars before they can be installed.
Seam sealed up the trunk. Its hard to see but there is texture to it. I'm going to go over it lightly with a spray style coating for a more original look.
And I installed the upper control arms and started to route the pre-bent fuel lines.
Not pictured, but I am still cleaning up the rear end and carrier for paint. Then i can put it all back together and roll it under the backend.
-
I took several boxs of parts out of the attic & started going through them to see what I have to order, & what I can clean up & save.same
-
never thought of that, thats a great idea. I just question how i can swipe the Mrs. electric blanket.
-
yeah it was a tid bit nipply....I need to get my heaters cleaned up and running. That way i can get some painting done in the next few weeks. People aren't always aware that you need the air temp AND the part temp to but warm, or the paint wont adhere like it should.
-
After months of no work on the car, I was able to get some time in last night. It was a cold one though.
I'm at the point where I can start bolting on my suspension and running the new fuel and brake lines i bought from CJs
Upper control arms and spring perches
Lowers that need painted still
Spindles getting cleaned up for paint
I also got the 9" apart, which i honestly do not think the carrier has ever been out of the housing. All the nuts and washers were originals, the ID tag was in the proper place and the inside was 100% mud and sludge. Might not have helped it was cold though.
-
Its bad for the hobby IMO.
People are starting to spend money at these auctions again like they did a few years ago. Now ever nut job will think his rotted to the max 70 fastback is worth 30k
-
$500 car at best
-
i plan to keep it as clean as possible. No painting, blasting, etc etc....we'll see how long that lasts lol
The Mrs still has enough room to park. I am out in the cold though. Which i am fine with.
-
Finally in our house, and I brought the Mach home last night....Let the sickness resume.
-
awesome, thanks....getting a pair for $100
-
Looking at buying these for my 69, not sure if they are out of a 70 or 71
-
