After some intense grinding on the front calipers, I pulled the car out of the garage for some last minute adjustments and double check what I can, I am getting ready to take her for her first drive around the block. Here she sits int he driveway outside the garage. I will do a little cleanup in the garage before putting her back in. And of course, I will take a video of it driving. I know you have all heard this before. Thank you goes out to Slits for the rear non leaking caliper. It came today first thing this morning. I need to adjust one of the front torsion bars also as it is leaning a little to the passenger side. Wish me luck, I am hoping nothing breaks.

OK, I need to know if anyone off the top of thier head knows which way to turn the adjustment bolts on the torsion bar to get this to go up on the passenger side. As you can see in the picture, it leans a lot to the passenger side. Its too low and needs to come up. I have tried both directions and nothing seems to help. Which way do I turn it to get it to go up?

Scott,

Cranking the adjustment bolt clockwise will raise the car. Take the weight off of the front end when you adjust it as I've heard others have stripped the threads due to all the weight still being on it. Also, after adjusting lower the car and then make sure it settles (drive it, bounce it etc.) before you adjust it some more.

Possible broken torsion bar?

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive, well-preserved body; rather you
should skid in sideways, double cheeseburger in one hand, martini in the other,
body thoroughly trashed, totally worn out, screaming, "Hoo-yah, what a
ride!

Funny you mention that. She is here now and took the video of the car moving on its own. As soon as I figure out how to post it, I will. I did drive the car today. Still needs lots of work though. Gotta pump the brakes to stop, and it still wont go in reverse. So I am going to make a new shift linkage.
