Winter Projects

As Larry continued on his inspection of my car he said something with the right rear suspension "doesn't quite look right". I'm thinking lateral damage from my U-jint failure last fall. What do you guys think?

I'm guessing this is where the outer half shaft hit the shock and caused the damage.

I am so lucky to have found this group and meeting Larry. Guess what he had in his workshop downstairs?

He told me what he wanted for them and it didn't take me long to decide on this purchace. (Wife even agreed with me on this on after she saw the pictures)

I thought I'd set one in place to show her what they'll look like.

Lastly on this visit, I wanted to get the ZF prepped for cleaning. I took the spreader bar out to bring home for powder coating and removed the clutch slave to clean that up also. Now it looks like I have more to order.

I'm also going to upgrade the fluid line going to the slave and the vent tube for the ZF. Ordered a "Spare" U-joint, new half shaft bolts, new fluids for clutch and brakes.

And hopefully Larry doesn't add too much more to my "Short" to do like.

It won't be long now!

Just out of curiosity what is that big silver bolt looking thingy on your shift linkage?

Looks like a Zerk.

Looks like the pinch bolt for the shifter shaft u-joint. Bolt appears to be too long, with a stack of washers under the nut.

JB,
That is correct and also on my short list of things to correct.

Thanks guys for reminding me.

Welcome to April Fools day in Southern NH>

April 2nd. Going to Larry's to check on the progress and take out my defective Kenwood CD player. Here is Frosty the next morning.

Ii show up at the shop and Larry's not around due to a meeting to help plan this years N.E Exotic Car show. Working on a class that won't put Panteras against sub 100 mile Lambos.

This is what I found waiting for me when I arrived!

I think I'll keep them. (The original is on the left in case you couldn't tell)

Larry has been busy working the wiring issues out in the engine bay. He told me he thought this would be easier. He thought wrong.

Engine bay.

Larry did a nice job at cleaning up the fire wall area.

Before....

After clean up/out.

Here is the mounting panel that he's working up. I thniks it'll be good to have everything in one place and with relays.

State of the interior before I took out the Kenwood. (Going to work on that at home)

Larry noticed that i was missing the front "Wings" to deflect air in to the radiator. So he convinced me to get a set at a deal!
Side with deflector missing.

Other side with deflector installed.
