Been around around again. Started by picking up some parts from he sandblaster and brought them over to the powder coating .

YES I painted the jack light gray! HELL!!!! Most flats happen at night (Murphy's law) and hate to be looking for those black things in the dark...


next I created a reinforcement plate to support the weakened base of the steering rack mountings.

it runs through he frame from one end to the other tig welded


on to removing both ends of the granny tranny for cleaning and a gasket change



Moving on I completed the refurbishment of the timing cover with new gaskets aesthetics and seals


On to some bench work trying to remove the break fluid container from the cylinder. Drilled out the pins that were corroded


Any questions WHY I am trashing that?


Thankfully the rubber seals were tip top after 30 years... I say thankfully cause DMCH does not carry those

I just replaced the entire brake master cylinder plus reservoir. I didn't want to mess with the ability to stop after the car tried to kill me. Good luck i noticed on time.

Reservoir was not available at the time of my order. Any clues where I can find the tranny's main gaskets? (the two that connect the centre's two halfs?)

Impressive;) Dropped them a line. Hope I can get a gasket to open that main body as well.

A quick tip for the reservoir bottle, stick it in the dishwasher, comes up like new !
