Nice progress. Nice work on the pass thru mount.

I am happy with the progress that you had with this build. I can't wait to see the result of your hard work.

[hfdco4]

So did you finish? Are you out and driving this nice ride?

[jurrien]

It is street legal again and i have taken it oit for a short drive

But i think my alternator is not strong enough or breaking down.
Still need to install the djm loweing kit for the rear.
Oil filter got damaged by the previous steering setup and started leaking.

Still having a lot of coolant leaks by hose clamps

I bought a two post lift, so i should be able to fix and do everything soon!


Keep you posted

[hfdco4]

Keep at it, leaks are always fun the fix. Did you do the 3G Alternator upgrade? Get one from a 90's Taurus, 130amp and one wire.

[jurrien]

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look if they have any taurus around here!
Still have the 'original' alternator

[jurrien]

It seems like my alternator idy working but my gauge is not giving the right current.

Anyway i lowered the rear with a djm kit!
Lowered about 3", inwas hoping for the full 4" but it is looking good!

I just scrolled through the ten pages of your awesome build Very nice work!
You should be very proud and I know how happy you will be driving and showing it off.
Gives me hope, encouragement and makes me not feel quite as bad about the slow progress on mine.

[jurrien]

Thanks Mak, it was definitely a long journey!
still some things to do, but i guess that will be normal with an old car

good luck on your build

Time for some winter maintenance.

Change steer
Add rollpan
New 1 wire alternator
Line lock
Fix leaks
Change oil and filter
Make a switch on the park brake and use the 'brake pressure' light to light up when 'active'
Take out some unused wires and clean up more
Align wheels
Adjust timing

And most important, complete overhaul transmission

Anyway see what I can do in the next days

That is a tight fit on the driver's side when on the lift!
