Bassboy3313 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Started messing with the rear euro valance install this weekend. Using my brothers awesome snap-on body hammers and dollies I got some areas smoothed out on it. I think it will be easier once it's welded on the car. I went to sand down the edge of the car to bare metal for welding and ran into another Fat Bob curse. DAMN YOU FAT BOB!!!! Looks like he just chipped away some rust and bondo'd the hole shut. [emoji35] So I got in there and ground away all the bondo and proceeded to weld up the hole like it should of been in first place. Picture looks worse than in person. I basically built up weld beads and ground it flat to form the edge again for the valance to be welded to. Progress pic Then just for fun I tacked the valance on for how it may look. I need to take it off and get that edge flatter to fit against the car a lot better. Then from there I'll need to figure out the side pieces and it should be good to go.

Bassboy3313 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Been sick all weekend, so couldnt do much outside. I ended up working more on the rear end and figuring out the axle lengths. Turns out, the distance from diff flange to hub flange is different on both ends. Only by 3/8" tho. One side I got 38mm shorter than stock and the other I got 28.5mm shorter than stock. At this point, I'm just gonna split the difference and get 2 axles the same length. Figure it's better to have 3/16" difference on both ends than 3/8" difference only on one end. Gonna be contacting Machine Service in Pewaukee this week for a quote on shortening my axles.

HipMF Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 don't let the CVs fall apart under any circumstances. once the balls fall out, you'll never get it to work again (unless i'm just unlucky and/or stupid) I have one that's so froze up I can clamp the CV in the vise and hang off the axle and it doesn't budge. e21 CVs are NLA. I managed to find an NOS one for a reasonable price on flea-bay, but it took some digging... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassboy3313 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Still slowly moving along with the half shafts, but figured I'd do some more body work. Got the old rear valance cut off and the euro one welded on. I also welded up 2 holes I had to cut rust out, but didn't get pics of those. Next step is grinding/smoothing out the welds, skim coat of body filler and lots of sanding. I will be removing the side marker lights and welding up those holes too.
