Now they are only 1 year warranty. 5 years is unheard of from what i see available now. 2 years at most but those cost nearly $200…
-
thanks for the info Mike, I can also get the 26 r at Wally world for $70. I was afraid it be a crappy battery but perhaps you don’t think so?

Front bumper reinstalled. When I purchased the car the bumper ends at the fenders were not attached. Had to find/purchase new hardware for that. Also had to drill the (meticulously located)hole in the LF fender which had been replaced under a prior ownership. The (original) bumper itself is not quite straight either which didn’t speed things up 🤣. I’ll need to drill the three holes for the reflector as well…

Wonder why a 26G (golf cart) battery wouldn’t be better for a 2002 than a 26R if the dimensions work (they’re very similar). More CCA for less cost.

I would like to see a picture of this power plant….
-
Front suspension project complete except for final torquing!
-
I like that front spoiler, can you tell me where you got it?
-
Complete front suspension work finally back together today, except for final torquing to be done once back on the ground and weighted. Cleaned up / re-sprayed both wheelwells during the process. Next up is new wheels bearings, etc...

Haven't seen one of these before, must be rare! Parts hard to find?
-
LF strut rebuilt, removed the races from the LF hub, cleaning it up ...
-
Parts ready to reassemble the LF strut ... started cleaning up inside the LF fender area ...
-
Ah, you may want to move this to the want to buy section. -
Asking price?
-
More front suspension progress…Had to order a new LF wishbone, the original had developed an unacceptable bushing shell…
-
I did not know that could be adjusted I will check mine.
-
I have two. Let me clean them up and send some pictures to you tomorrow.
-
One of the three bolts attaching the drop arm to the strut was found to be broken off apparently by a past shadetree mechanic. Fortunately after I removed the other two bolts it unscrewed by hand! Other pic is my "cleaning station" (vats of super clean). Next step is removal of any remaining loose paint / scale by wire brush then rust converter / primer.

Gale, as you'll recall a purchased a sway bar from you. Thanks again, BTW! I believe I saw you pull in w/ your white 2002 but afterwards I didn't see / catch up w/ you. I had not planned to attend however decided late to do so a went in my camper van (stayed across the street). It was a great show, I thought! Just a couple of pics I took...
-
Finally back to working on Schmidt again after attending a race, being on vacation, attending The Vintage (that was cool!). Got the LF suspension components removed today.
-
Does existing wiring / connector hook right up to these or are mods necessary?
-
Makes perfect sense! 😁
-
I notice the 1972 has 1971 rear bumper?
-
was that fun? 😂 I might attempt it next year…
-
Ill be camping in my 20’ class B van…
