Also I was preparing to install the tail light housings and couldn't remember where my wiring notes ended up. The L and R turns are obvious, but need to figure out what goes to 54, 58, RF and 31. Obviously running lights, brake lights, back up and ground. If someone has those handy that would help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Big day...got my lift back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Son came home for two weeks to push through the post-paint re-assembly of his 72 1.7 yellow beast. Had to spend some time going back and forth to the painter to get it right. Done except for the interior. Very nice.

Started cleaning up my oil tank...bad decision. What looked solid covered in road grime wasn't. Small perforations along the top seam where the rear wheels picked up debris and deposited it there. It held moisture which over time ate through the copper and then the steel. As the perforations were along the top edge, it suffered no obvious leaks. Rest of the tank is very solid so I am going to repair this one. No sense in mig welding it, and as it is not structural, I think I can get by with brazing it. Pretty small holes. Once brazed it will get completely wire brushed and sealed. Before...

Working away on the front suspension. Something very satisfying about bolting up fresh parts. Slight dilemma with my bump steer modification...upper two U-joints were binding.
Figured out where the binding was happening, and removed about an 1/8th on the washer and binding disappeared so everything got tightened back up.

Could this be the correct mirror for my 6? Wasn't where it was supposed to be...but it is long and narrow with the correct base.

Having a lift is a game changer. My last shop had one and I used it often. Looking great!

Rears are done except for dust shields and e-brakes. New coil overs and hardware. PET does not show where the bracket that supports the front of the rear brake dust shield goes. Is it under the head of the bolt and lock washer?
