hell hole area (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)


Should have the engine compartment cleaned out today to inspect the area more thoroughly.

But I did get the rocker panels off, had to drill out the rivets and muscle the lower screws that were a bit rusty. Both sides were full of dirt but cleaned up nicely. Hoping the hell hole is in similar condition

Passenger front and rear brakes, driver side looks the same

I'll be ordering rebuild kits and rubber lines from PMBPerformance and then flush the system.

Should I attempt to save the rotors and have them lightly turned or just replace?

Depends on how they mike out, but for everything else you're doing it makes sense to replace. They are not very expensive.

Looks like you've found a good one. I'm betting there is a lot of shine hiding under that oxidation.

Is that the definition of "run flats"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Bet that paint will be WAY soft cooking in CA sun so go easy with the buffer.

Thanks again Kevin, it was awesome! I could hardly sleep last night thinking about all the little details to get this one back on the road.

It's rusty under there (can't have everything right?), I really poked around and made a few holes, I guess once I have the engine out I'll determine if I want to cut away the areas and weld in new (famous last words)

Rear trunk is crusty also, although I couldn't make any holes with a screw driver

let the cylinders soak a couple days in some marvel mystery oil, changed the engine oil and filter

This doesn't look like 20+ year old oil but then again I haven't seen 20+ year old oil before

Hooked up a battery and it turned over, put a compression tester on each cylinder and got around 140 psi on #1,2,4 and a little over 130 psi on #3

shipped my injectors to Mr Injector and getting ready to order all new fuel system components including; SS tunnel and engine compartment lines, rubber hose, injector upper/lower seals, relocate new 2 port fuel pump up front. Pulled the tank to drop off to radiator shop to get cleaned. Who knows, maybe late next week she'll run! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Just take your time. New carpet makes a big difference.
