Another project complete.







Remind me to not do this again. The rear end of this car fought me the entire way. The diff pin broke, hammer, drill, punch, chisel for 4 hours, and it all comes apart, then the rear calipers AND slider brackets were seized, as were the e-brake cables. The car stops flat now, but I need almost every parking brake cable for it now.

These wheels are the same ones I had on the gray TC. I had some left over paint and clear, cleaned em up, taped em and sprayed em. I didn't do a great job, but these wheels aren't permanent. I have something else up my sleeve.
It's Gumby's fault.

I've thought about it, but it would be a long time before I do. I've been avoiding spending money on this thing unless I have to, and have been using parts I've had laying around, and from previous projects.

Once I clean out the trunk, put a real sound system in it, and some other odds and ends, the car will at least sit more level.

I do have the full res shots, but I need to get the car actually clean before I take any more pictures of it.
