Vern_K Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hello ladys and gentleman and other such variants.... I recently picked up a WD21, the secound one I have owned the last one was 10 years ago. I needed something to get me by until I get my project finished and since the diff bearings decided to go out in what was my daily I needed something. Picked her up cheep, runs decent, has a few small issues but should do the job...... those are from the night I picked her up and took her home, today was the first day I drove her..... picked up a timing belt and water pump today and need to get a new cap and rotor tomorrow, valve covers need new gaskets also which I have a set sitting around. Hope to have time this weekend to do the timing belt and such. This was my daily till she decided to sound like a air chisel is in the tranny, didn't want to destroy the tranny so needed to stop driving her her front is white due to someone hitting me, I have owned her for the last 9 years and she has been a really good car, was hoping she would go till my project car was done then it was going to be her turn, but she didn't quite make it, shes really hard to find a transmission for and would be to much down time to rebuild and be with out a car.... Then here is my project which has taken most of my money and time over the last few years, I am to the point of putting parts back on...... Thanks Vern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Looks like your project car has the factory cats still installed. Pathy looks pretty clean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vern_K Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks, got to do some work on the pathy yesterday, oil change, cleaned up around the starter had exposed wires, so pulled them out and cleaned them up and recovered them, raised the front end, zipped tied a couple relays that have seem to lost the mounting brackets and were just laying around. Things on the too do list include CV shafts and gear lube change, timing belt, flushed hydraulic lines. Might do a oil fliter relocation kit on so I'm not dumping oil on the starter every time I change oil. She does have a broken exhaust stud so will have to get to that sometime and suspension bushings. For the most part shes in good shape other then a few things that other people have messed up like for some reason the speedo signal has been tapped into, no wires going any where just a clip on thing on each of the wires, the speedo is off so the sending unit might have been changed, she is about 5 mph off at 40 mph and about 10 off at 70 mph. She shakes a bit at highway speeds think most of it is the cheep tires that have all kinds of balance weights on, and or bushings. She must have been hit in the rear or backed into something, the rear bumper is bent up to the point of the hitch mounts bent a little and the hitch is missing.

Slartibartfast Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 What size tires are on it? My snow tires are smaller than my summer tires (31x10.5 like it says on the doorjamb) and the speedo's off by about that same amount when I'm running the snow tires.

Vern_K Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 she has 235 on so that could be it, for some reason I was thinking it had over size on it already...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
