Last spring I got a call from a gentlemen that I will call DP. Please come by and look at my car.
My son and I rebuilt the engine in 2012 and never started it. So Jack and I made a house call. Laying on the floor I saw the hole in the long. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Basically I told him car shouldn't be driven unless the rust is repaired. Let him know where he fell in the line up of projects. Picked up the car around the first of September. Original scope of work : 1. Get engine up and running. 2. Get car shifting correctly. 3. Complete PMB brake restoration. 4. End of day, make car reliable After getting the car on the lift I gave him my best guess on the hours needed to complete the job.    Drive train on the table  |

Now its time to get serious. Cutting open the long.
Then it was time to cut the cancer out of the long itself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Using the 2 post lift I need to get the front arm out of the way. Find my level.  With screw jack, raise the car enough to move the arm.  Took a .125" lift to move the arm.  Then dropped it back to zero. |
