Tonight's progress

They could be better but, hey it's just a driver. The rest of the tin will be done this week.

I ordered some parts this AM. Maybe just maybe if all goes right the engine can go back in next week.

Still have to decide what to do about the battery tray and paint the engine bay.

Yep,

Our fellow club member Geoff (Bleyseng) has it as we speak. It will have rebuild and be good as new.

This is where they go.

I have to tell ya. This was the freaking hardest job on this car.

I know there is not alot of pictures for this progress... mainly because it was a tremendous amount of backbreaking work and not much to show until the end.

This was not the worst rusted part of the car.. but definitley the hardest to work on. I ruined more of the good metal getting the pans out than was rusted.

You absolutley want a good jack and at least five hands, unfortunatley I only have two.

If I had to do it all again, I would build a rottisere to do this.

Passenger side pans * mostly * welded in.

I went back to flux core wire for this job. I knew there would be tons of welding and I would go through like 3 bottles of MIG gas if I went with mig on this.

Quite a bit of black scaring and ugly welds but they're in... plenty of grinding to do as well.

Biggest thing I hate about flux core is the shit popping all over the place. My arms are covered in pink spots (I know, idiot put on long sleeves).

I add this pic only to tell of the horror that is getting off a rusted on hand brake lever.

I cranked the air compressor to 95 psi and went at this thing several times with an air hammer and ball joint removal tool. WHAT AN F'IN BITCH. I could not imagine trying to get this off with a pry bar and hand tools.

OH and obligatory rust holes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Sooo... it's been awhile.

I have been working pretty much non stop, well at least for the last 14 days in a row. I have had virtually zero garage time.

After I got home this last Monday, I felt I needed to unwind... so off to the garage I went. Wnated to keep it light, how about a valve adjustment???

Using the Cap'ns method, very easy. Worst part was figuring out the true point of "rocking" Messed a few up at first but went pretty well after a little nogin noodling.

Yeah I know... you asking jeez those FI intake tubes are awful shiney.

WELL... I bought this paint. I thought it looked like dull alluminum. Then I started painting. DAMN stuff looks like chrome when wet, it did dull down a little.

Obviously a little mix up at the paint mfg or store. I was going to repaint them but the kids said it was "NICE BLING DAD"

I still reserve the right to yankthem off and repaint (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

You will never, never , ever get me to tell you where I purchased these (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

But I did measure and record each hose and where it goes. I will post a VH diagram for 1.7's when I get some time so no one has to do the unthinkable like I did.

UNCLEAN.... AUUUUUUUUUUUGH
