Sucked in the front bumpers too !! Looks way better

Wow.  Very cool. How about a picture from the side to show the difference and a little explanation of how?  I assuming cutting down the bracket?  Interesting question of what cutting and I assume re welding does to the structure for an accident.  But we aren't having one of those, are we?

Here's mine after I tucked the front bumper. I cut the shocks back but that still wasn't enough for me so I cut the profile of the nose onto the bumper and brought it in even more.
I'm still not totally in love with it but it will hold me over until I can free up funds to allow some of the nicer bumper options out there.

Wow.  That is sucked in indeed.  Very creative.  For myself, I don't think I would want the bumper to not be further out than the nose or you would loose all protection from people parking by brale, etc.  I loath and despise my 1976 bumper, but I still want a bumper.

That is a great point but I always tend to park my cars (that I care about) in the back of lots where most people wouldn't.

Primed my refurbished doors and fit the passenger side. Now he car is a proper patchwork quilt. Once the drivers side is on I'll work on the panel gaps.

I only drilled a hole in each shock to release the pressure of it.. then just pushed it in

Are you talking about the small amount of ‘mayonnaise’ in your oil? That might not be your head gasket, more likely condensation from a short run. If there was a lot more then I would be worried. 

[tzei]

Yeah, you’ll change oil anyway now so you’ll see how much ”latte” you have. If drained stuff looks ok they that mayo is not that fatal.

Got the sway bar loose so I could get the alternator out. Ordered new hardware from BelMetric for the sway bar. Replaced the stock bushings in the new alternator. With urethane. Drank beer, a local double ipa called Lazerdisc with my friend who had the circlip tool to celebrate! Alex

I used the 02 for a run to the gas station to fill up my 1 gal gas can and get a 6 pack of beer. The car performed perfectly, it better, it's the only one street worthy at the present time.

Needed the gas to run the pressure washer on the Ghia's engine. I pulled it this morning and have some work to do replacing the forward engine seal behind the flywheel.While I'm at it I'll replace the clutch, pressure plate, thowout bearing and alternator. I will test run the engine on my shopping cart/engine stand before I cram it back in the car. Cold weather and rain is on the way so the engine is wrapped up in plastic. I don't think I can get the cart back in the garage.

 

 

Do yourself a favour, replace the two oil seals at the bottom of the oil cooler while you are at it. They don't look bad, but just in case.
