What did you do to your 2002 today !

It's amazing how hugely satisfying it is to suddenly have cancelling signals and a blinking indicator again, isn't it?

 

 

Cheers,

You'll be astounded what happens when you adjust your camber plates in about an inch, too...

You've got it, use it!

 

Yeah, I definitely need to dial that in too!     I had a full alignment done after I rebuilt the front and rear subframes and it seems fine in the corners, but "wonders" between the lane paint on the freeway.  So I need to have a better shop take a look when things free up a little bit.  I'm a little confused at how those adjustable plates mount in the fender though.  If I loosen those allen screws, you can see I won't be able to adjust it much farther.  Did I install them wrong? Thoughts?

Turned the insert, outsourced the 30mm emblem, made an "amco" shift knob.  Original is on the left.

Tsingtao_1903  - love the shift knob with the raised classic roundel.  Is that metal?  Any idea where to source another one?

 

Thanks!

Thanks.  I sketched up the roundel and sent it out to be made.  Yes, it is metal.  Still have a box full of them.  I can send you some if you like to make your own shift knob.  Or, I can make one for you.  Let me know.

 

Best regards,

Progress to date on the install of a/c on the turkis princess four/five days in...

 

I cut off the two braces up to hood hinges and fasten them to reinforced front edge. I cut off two wings on top of rails that supposed the shocks on the big bumpers that I removed long ago allowed me to install (2)12x16 coils....interior unit has two coils one for heater. Puts out right at 700cfm...

Barney... Ray and I think you are trying to start a mobile meat locker... ?

Damn Barney, going to need a 100amp alternator just to power the AC. The double condensers are serious.

Thanks for the pics! Can’t wait for the results. It gets hot in Texas!

The car finally come off stands and took its first drive out of the shop! Spent most of the quarantine so far replacing suspension, ignition, and interior parts - and, amazingly, it made the drive all they way to my house and back again with no real issues

Nice build! Your dash looks perfect - where did you find / get it?!? Is it a clip-over? If so, I'm impressed.

Every since I got the car I have been running a passenger seat as a driver's seat. Today, I pulled apart one of the 4 passenger seats I somehow managed to accumulate for parts to build a frankenstein seat. Man, those pivot bolts are a bear! I pulled the upright/back part off a driver side I had, but the bottom frame was trashed. So, now my driver's seat is a passenger side bottom w/ a driver side back. It's so nice not having the tilt lever rubbing against the transmission tunnel, and not having to reach to the middle of the car to tilt the seat back forward!

 

If anyone has a driver side lower frame they are willing to part with, I'm in the market.

 

thx

Dropped Stella off at the paint shop this morning to have the fender and various rust repairs painted.  A huge thanks and shout out to BarneyT for all his help and guidance!  @BarneyT

Yeah, it’s a cheapy clip over dash cap, from JC Whitney of all places. Doesn’t look half bad but the fit isn't perfect on my early two piece dash. I may take it out again and give it a spray in some vinyl paint to get it looking a little less plastic-y. But - much better than the very cracked dash with very poor attempted repairs underneath.
