  2. Where is it? I used to have tons of stuff bookmarked on this site for projects I wanted to do, now that i'm about to start some all of my links "can't be found" I search for Suspension rehab...or even just "suspension" and I get nothing of any use. Does anyone know how to access that old blog or know of any walk throughs for a suspension refresh/rebuild?
  3. Thinkin about workin on the car again.

  4. If you guys join the import classic Sacramento club on Facebook I posted pictures. Of course, you have to join Facebook. Pretty sure the government already has your profile ready for you anyways.
  5. Ohhhhh 9 "AM". Ok, I thought this was a later meet. I think I can get up that early.
  6. Ok, havent been on the forums much....BUT I have ALL the parts for this whole suspension thing. I bought the whole rebuilt kit from Blunttech and that includes new control arms with the bushings already pressed (I heard it was a bitch to do that) plus new shocks and springs. 4 boxes of stuff! Now I just need to talk to someone who knows what they are doing. I'm willing to try it myself....or not...either way will you be around this weekend? I'm finally starting to get some free time.
  7. I currently have a post 73 (one with an emblem) on my 73, it bothers the crap out of me having 2 emblems right next to each other! Anywho I got a post 73 for sale with emblem if I can find one without. Its white and im looking for white, but i'm willing to paint. Thanks. Oh and I'm in the Sacramento california area.
  8. No not since I posted this. I still need to get this stuff done. Still trying to figure out whats the best route to take. Again I have no garage and no tools. I do however have a tax return....but I don't want to pay a ton of money and don't want the car gone for 3-4 weeks. It's kinda my daily right now.
  9. Hey Sorry I was gone for a week. I did get it back unfortunatly xmas is hitting early. I have the bilsteins already, probably going to get some springs this month but thats about all my money till Jan. I also discovered some other things in this weather that probably need to be done first (windshield wipers stopped working, rear defrost, heater/defrost) It now takes me 30 minutes to warm up and get ready to drive to work....if it's not raining. It might be cheaper to just build a garage.
  10. That would be cool and thanks to everyone for the input. Unforunatly the shop still has my car...I don't see being able to get it back today therefore probably won't have it through the weekend. I'll keep you posted.
  11. Yeah it seemed a little high to me also. Is anything on here more difficult that I should have them do then I can do the easier stuff? I don't know any of the Oh-2 peeps yet. Only had it for a couple months. I also don't have a garage...barely a driveway. I also don't have this money...heh. Just seeing if I should have them do ANY of it or just wait and look for a friend of a friend or something.
  12. Yeah its a PDF , trying to get it to format properly. no luck so far.
  13. Can someone give me their email address so I can send them my estimate to have my suspension rebuilt and let me know if its totally nutz or about right. I don't know how much this stuff usually costs but don't want to get screwed. Thanks in advance. Oh and keep in mind I bought front and back bisteins separately and gave them to the shop to put on.
  14. Don't know much about the car beside everyone telling me I shouldn't buy it. The guy I bought it from had NO info on it and pretty much lied about everything in his CL add. I bought it anyways. I couldn't wait anymore....I needed it! Its a 73 but the engine isn't original and as I tear it apart I'm finding out that almost none of the actual screws are original! My passenger arm rest had 3 different screws. Rust isn't bad, had the tranny rebuilt (opted for a 4 speed rebuild since it would be a long tim till paint and body and 4 is enought to ride around town) Brakes were redone. Just finally ordered up recaro's, i'll get those in this weekend. Just finished rebuilding both doors (huge improvement) plus some other little cosmetic stuff (driving lights, steering wheel, a couple random emblems and chrome bits here and there) Fixed my dome light and door switch (Amazing how much a small can of de-oxit will fix) Yanked the old fridgiking and put in an old non-ac console. Trunk lid isn't original (has a 74' emblem on it...along with the rear emblem...for some reason it's really annoying having 2 emblems right next to each other. Run's like a champ right now...glad I bought it. Leaks oil like a chevron tanker. Is there a place on the forum to view members and the cars they drive or do you just dig through the posts?
  15. Yeah, that bumper is pretty jacked. Thinking about getting a new short bumper if thats possible. Pretty far down on my list right now....you know....oil leaks and some other not as fun stuff first.
  16. Did you get my email? I cant tell. Yes I do need the door locks. Let me know how much and how to pay (assuming paypal) and lets make it happen.
  17. Hey everybody, never bought or sold on here before, new member. I busted my driver door lock the other day and the trunk lock never worked. I would like to buy a set of all three locks with key/keys. Let me know what you have. Will pay ASAP.
  18. Ok, where are you guys getting these grommets! My dealer wants $14 per. Thats WAY too much....I need 6! Maybe 8 if I use 2 on the front grill. If I search around people will list them for 40 cents a pop but are out of stock...everyone in the forum says they are cheap. Please help....I need to put my door back together but don't want to finish until I get these. Thanks in advance.
  19. Amazing. Yeah Stu has my car now. He's super busy....I think I've called 10 times and never once a return call. Which is fine, I just have no idea what he's doing with it or how long i'll be without it. It's soon to be my ONLY car so things like that are good to know since I need to find rides and what not. I will soon have many many questions about what and how to do things. Thanks for the support.
  20. Is there one? I'm a noob and need a place or someone who will be available to answer questions/give advice. Thanks in advance.
