I'll try to start blocking this weekend. We'll see how it blocks out. If it blocks out ok, it could be yellow in 3 weeks or so probably

Actually it was still good ! 50 plus years old, amazing japanese quality... kanto seiki so it's still original lock..

What a bunch of rust buckets. Not much usable structure left on any of them.

In the '80's overhere you could buy anti theft equipment that used a keylock that you could put on the car somewhere and this is what you see here i think.

Swapped out a new friction plate on the Flywheel.

🤣O my!!! That's a "Rust eaze" commercial!

Ha ha I thought that was amazing as well. The emblem holding the fender together. I thought the lock might be some sort of anti theft switch, but who knows.

Years ago I found a service place that catered to Porsche enthusiasts. I needed a bolt-plate alignment (aot to the typical concentric cone style). I think the cost differential was $25 vs $5 per wheel. Yeah, it was painful, but the car became a dream to drive afterwards. Prior, it acted like the front end was going to explode above 50 mph.

Looking great Charles!!!! Good work.

If the rack is worn, there'd be excessive right and left motion of the steering wheel with no movement of the wheels. You could compare the amount of movement of the steering wheel while the wheels are straight and also at the right and left locks for a clue as to the extent of wear. If the play is similar at all three locations, the problem may well go to another component - tie rod ends, (or as @dutchzcarguymentioned) differential air pressure, different tire tread patterns, any of the three alignment variables, etc. You mentioned you had a concern with a shop's possible non-understanding of how to properly align the car. How do you know the last shop had a clue?

Have you done also the Plus-pole connection? it looks like it's going to get the same problem.. Why all the tape? leave it off then you'll see the corrosion and you can spray the connection while doing a bit of maintenance! I bet you leave it.. untill one day .... the car stalls..

Stacked some high build right before supper. Hopefully it will block out pretty close without needing too much more work

I think Phillip is having fun stretching those pictures? Could be a LSD Whopper he's munching on. I've had LSD sugar cubes back in my past life. Laughed for 10 hours, slept for 20.

I found them on Greenline Motorsports. I think they said 2-5 months delivery.
