Nefarious Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 cut and shaped the oil diptick mount bracket so my driver side OBX header would fit. installed header. bent my old vg30e power steering line to fit back to the other side of the engine since the pump is on the other side now. relocated power steering reservoir to the driver side so my whole power steering setup is in one small area now. went through all the lines i had kicking to adapt r50 power steering pump to wd21 steering box. steering is done now!

JamesRich Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Don't paint the bling! if I find a chrome 87-89 grille and actually 'buy' painted 90-95 (I know theres plenty of those out there) I will have a full house of wd21 grills, the d21 grill selection needs a few too. Nothin like having options I wouldn't paint the chrome, the gray grill I got in the pick a part needs a paint job. I got pissed yesterday while looking on rock auto, they have the gray 95 grill new for $17 I paid $15 for one that needs a paint job! I got a side clearance light for $5 too which was good, they cost $29 at rock auto. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the BEST thing to do is, at some point, to remove all the old paint and rust and then repaint or recoat. But to really get all the rust off I think you're going to need to sandblast. Probably just using a wire wheel will be "good enough." But all this is actually fairly hard to do under the truck, especially with no body lift. For me, I realized I wasn't going to be able to properly paint it right now, and that painting wasn't going to work as well in the cold anyway, so I figured I would apply something this winter as a preventative measure. The nearest "Krown" place is kinda far, so I just bought a can of the above stuff. It seems ok. Doesn't drip too much when applying, and basically if it doesn't come off right away, it doesn't drip off later. It essentially congeales on. Not sure how long it will last while driving around on wet roads. Unfortunately the can was $12 and didn't really last very long. I will probably try to buy another couple to coat most of the frame. Probably going to a shop where they have a lift and proper spray gun will actually be cheaper than buying a whole ton of cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towncivilian Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I put the stock undercover up after like 8 months of being off. I even used all of the bolts; some were missing before. I cleaned my steering wheel with Woolite and hot water, but a bunch of stuff flaked off around the top of the wheel. Some of it was already flaking off so I guess it was just a matter of time. Is getting the steering wheel re-wrapped a good option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vagabond Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Replaced the starter on the 94 yesterday. Did the semi monthly pickapart run today picked up 3 lego wheels for the 94, rear carpet for the 88, and found a moon roof envelope in burgundy will go in the 88 I hadn't seen one of those in years, found a cherry front bumper for the 88 all it needed was paint. Carpet and bumper now on the 88. To do list is getting smaller 5 speed for the 88,a hood, 94/95 front door panels and possibly a 94/95 dash in the 88, 94 is pretty much finished, maybe a winch and a bumper for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1994SEV6 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I got my ac 3" lift finally installed and pan hard drop bar. I also bought some aftermarket torsion bars since mine are shot. torsion bars can go bad...? So today (yesterday actually) I reassembled my entire interior and got my broken exhaust manifold studs out. There were 4 total that I couldnt get out. 2 were broken in the head, and 2 were unbroken. I got one of the unbroken ones out by using two nuts and a wrench, but the other one didn't work that way. I even had three nuts on there and it would just spin them off. I drilled all the way to the head and then broke it off with a hammer. Then I drilled into the head about halfway and used a reverse thread bit (an easy out, but another brand). Man, those reverse thread bits worked like a dream. OMG. It took me about 45 minutes to get all three of them out. Too bad it took me 3 hours with visegrips on the two unbroken ones to think about using a drill. To think about using a drill and overcoming my fear of accidentally ruining my engine while doing it. I'm not sure why people are scared of it not being centered. I'm 17 years old, and I've never drilled anything in my life before. I got the drill centered on the studs on my first try. Just put it in the middle and pull the trigger guys, no big deal. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
