Home

Odds and ends.

1

Started off the day by grinding the strut tabs down on the hubs.

2

2

Didn't have to remove that much metal.

 

1

3

Some serious misadjustment on the frame. This car had been hit in the left rear fender sometime in it's past.

2

4

The holes do not line up. So I had to do some more cutting. Cut the bar I installed between the towers and removed most of the rest of the trunk firewall sheetmetal.

5

So Super Ian used his super powers to spread the towers out to their proper location.

6

Hmmm... nice ground.

7

Better. Holes line up.

The strut bar installed.

These are the size bolts I am going to use to mount the sub-frame to the chassis rail. Going to get some new grade 8 bolts from the bolt store in Charlottesville.

2

10

Right rear assembled. I assumed this was a 91 rotor. It is now. It is a 93 rear. Now I need to find a 93 rear caliper.

11

Put the brake assembly together.

2

12

Simple. Automatics only require one pedal.

13

I gotta clean up that mess of pipe. it looks like poopy.

2

14

Removed the fuel tank. It had 4 year old 106 octane race fuel in it. I dumped it in a can and used it to start my trash fire tonight.

15

Found the engine brace.

2

16

I wont be able to work on the car for a few more weeks. So I decided to put the chassis on the ground.

17

I love this car.

2

18

I moved the hub back about 3/4" to see how far back I can go.

 

1

19

Looks like a VW bug. the real one.

2

20

Lots of room for tire and wheel.

 

1

21

That tire has a bit of negative camber.

2

22

This one does not.

 

1

23

Lots of camber.

You can see how I moved the tire back .75 inches.
