Just ordered myself new parts to swap out my improved front end for the damaged one from two weeks ago.
So I have what? two weekends and maybe a couple of days around the 4th to get it done! So I need to: Install struts and inserts (koni sport) Ball Joints Turbo Tie Rods (already on the struts) Rotors and Pads SS brake lines Wheel Bearings Get frontend alighned Find headlight short (only have low beams) Improve seatbelts (don't have pass side shoulder belt) PLUS all the routine long distance drive stuff! ACK I could just drive the F150 and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) more! then tow my raffle winnings home... |

I have all the tools including the ball joint socket and tie rod wrench and TWO torque wrenches. Air compressor, impact wrench and impact ratchet. We can turn this into a sort of work party Saturday! The garage is filthy but that is not the focus this time around! We could even grill some snacks. Just let me know who is going to show so I have enuff snacks and thought enhancing beverages for the peanut gallery. R man! How was Dallas? how does Saturday sound for a fly by? |

I am not going to do the control arms or add a front anti sway bar at this time. I would want to redo the bushings at least and most likey repaint the parts...
This all dependant on the arrival of the parts of course! Might be just cleaning the shop and collecting up the parts to go to the swap meets! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

check your tracking #s and see what the est delivery date is. according my calendar, you have 3 evenings to tidy up and ensure we have enough room to work!! throw the trash in the car rich is going to buy. save yourself the dump run, haha. i take it we would be on for a mid- morning start. 9ish or what? not doing the control arms will speed things up dramaticly. i like cheeseburgers. this will be fun.
k oh, get the car up in the air and have the wheels off prior to sat am. leave the tierods and what not alone, except for squirting stuff down with penetrant. don't alter the current toe-in until we start. |

The back up plan would be to install the struts and eyball the tie rods with the old parts, so there is still stuff to do. Top sirloin burgers and tillimooky cheedar cheeze (from the middle of nowhere!) burgers ROOL! |

doesnt look good for having the parts here by Saturday, I would still like to have anybody in the area stop by.
We are a go for burgers and at least swapping the struts and such! Also, if you think you might need a part that is on or for the 1974 car, let me know! 8th and Naval in Bremerton, We can also take the sawzalls to the white car if we get board! Always something fun in Btown! |

Ok, this is a major bummer!
The complete updated front end that I had is missing a few things: castle nut for a Turbo Tie Rod end both rack spacers oh, and a CALIPER! I guess I could swipe a caliper off the ugmo, but I still will need the spacers and the nut. Anybody got one of those? |
