Drove mine to work, then when I got home I decided to figure out why the fuel gauge doesn't work. (I've only had the car two weeks but this thing has been bugging me) Took the sending unit out and the float was stuck due to all the crud that had built up on the shaft. Also the ground wire was broken. I cleaned up the crud and soldered in a new ground wire and now I have a working fuel gauge!

It's been a while since I have posted any updates on my car

I forget where I left off, but the car is finally starting to go back together.

Front suspension is almost back together. New Koni sport yellow inserts, new ball joints, new bushings, repainted everything Koni Red. Raised spindle front struts, machined bumpsteer correction spacers, 911 turbo tie rods, BMW 320i caliper upgrade, slotted rotors, new pads, new bearings, 72mm wheel studs.

You should apply some sunscreen to your dome lest it turn the color of your car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Installed new turbo tie rods, ball joints, Tangering Racing steering coupler, bumpsteer kit and even cleaned and painted the control arms in one weekend. Actually I did most of it on Sunday. For anyone weary of doing it, don't be. It can be done with some time and patience. And the right tools!

Finally finished cleaning and painting the front end, got my powder coated control arms on with new elephant racing bushings, and new ball joints.
Drove it to Sonoma on Sunday, and let McMark do the rear bushings.
Wow, what a difference.....everyone with stock old bushings......Change them.
Can't believe the difference in the ride, bumps are bumps now, not body jarring mine fields. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Also did some adjusting and finally got my idle right, now the new 2056 runs amazing... And idles well........life is good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Well, I ordered my new batteries just now, and am in the process of filling the hole above the pedals that I had to cut to make them fit.

If I could find RoadGlue, I'd post a pic of the progress. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
I'm having to redo the rear battery racks as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
Now I can fit 5X 12V modules into the ex-fuel tank area, where I could only fit 4 of the lead-acid gel batteries. So even with adding voltage (144V to 156V) I need less space around the motor and trans, even though the same number of 12V modules is going in. The lithiums ARE a little taller, but that's no problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Attached Image

Stock 2.0 muffler on my 73 "The Black Eye" (4732913341) was blown, replaced it with a good used bursh muffler. Next on the list is reseal the rear window and replace speedo cable & fuel tank sender.

Replaced the ignition switch and door tumblers on my other 73 flip car (4732924554). Still need to do the head temp sensor, replace rear calipers and figure why the speedo doesn't work then it will be for sale.

Got some parts in maddog long kit and practiced my welding before I install it. If anyone has a link to installing the 10 piece gt rear suspension kit that would be help full.

We backdated a pair of MSD Blaster coils this week. Getting ready for an ignition overhaul.
