Got a set of fog lites you could throw on so you can drive at night with your old eyes.
Project looks good, can't wait to see it run. The engine probably will heat up alot faster now too. Geoff |

Ya there's a few extra parts. Mostly rubber and plastic. Don't think they are too important.

I'm truely finished now (at least until something else breaks). I've put about 400 miles on it since the picture up top. So it was time to check my work. Spent the last hour and change out in the garage retorquing and checking to make sure everything was OK. All was tight and nothing backed off.

Gonna return to real life now. Spend more time with the family, start getting the yard ready for spring, relearn how to hold a golf club and enjoy driving my car. Dave |

Borrow some scales and a DIY alignment tool(s)....do it up right.
Consider Mueller's bearing kit and turbo tie rods.... |
