Thanks Goldie,

Engine bay is tough, and mine wasnt done the proper way. ):

The Enkei car was sold off last week. Put the wheels on the '71.

Nice job GRNSKY.I know it is difficult in the heat. I sandblasted my entire rig in the Florida summer. Keep forging ahead. Good luck!

Thanks esmit,

Motor decision made. The work started today after the holiday hiatus.

[grnsky]

Small progress made today. New steering bushings installed, and a new fuel line. Hoping things progress quicker with the warmer weather.

Good work Grnsky. I am sure getting the rack and steering collar bushings in were much easier with the engine out of the way. Keep the progress pics coming!

[grnsky]

Thanks Hardway,

Hoping to install some steering components over the weekend. Tie rods, ball joints, steering rack boots, bushings, performance sway bar, etc. Hopefully the weather holds. Replaced the head gasket last week also.

When some becomes more.... The whole front end comes off! New shocks, etc. Perfect weather for a couple hrs of work.

40 years of grit.....

[grnsky]

Cleaned up well, waiting on some bushings, still need to finish up the struts before putting back together. Progress is slow,

Hi grnsky, "progress slow" Your progress is not that slow actually. The results are looking good. Engine bay looks real good.

It will be a nice ride when your finished.

Don't you just LOVE removing that old grit and putting back in shiny new or renewed parts?
