B C Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 7 hours ago, KaiserRolls said: Well after driving it around a little bit for a couple days, looks like there is a super slow coolant leak. Maybe the size of a half dollar after the car sits in the garage and cools down. Looks like the heater core hose area is a likely culprit. Also need to get a brass radiator plug instead of the plastic one, for peace of mind. I think these are m12x1.5 according @B C Alsox2 need to address the PS leak, seems to be weeping out of the threads on the pump. I’ve got some loctite brand hydraulic thread sealant that I’m going to try first. other than the annoyances above it feels awesome to get back to driving. The one time we get an earlyish spring and bat soup ruins everyone’s year Dont quote me on the thread size. I was high on Fun Dip when I googled that. The reason we all cant have a drive with perfectly running cars at the same time is it would be the final straw that would end the world. It’s like having a complete row in Tetris. it becomes complete and disappears. @YoungCR and @Bassboy3313 are the missing pieces Bassboy3313, straight6pwr, KaiserRolls and 2 others 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Well since it snowed today, I’m sure the city salted so this will be staying parked for a bit. Gives me time to finish some crap. Sill plate clips showed up. Posting this here so I have the right PN for when I need to remove my sill plates for some dumb reason and break all the clips again straight6pwr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Sill plates in, floor mat anchors in, shift/ebrake boots ordered. gf has a bunch of detailing stuff and had me order some more supplies. She’s going to use her fancy orbital on this and try to revive the paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 So far hood and trunk are done, needed to order some smaller pads for the orbital to continue in the meantime, steering wheel and spacer showed up from Pegasus/advanced autosports as well as a shift boot I robbed for the frame and new ebrake handle because mine was broken SteelBlue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelBlue Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 If you are still looking for the gator clip(the shift boot plastic thing), just buy one of the cheap shift boots on eBay and cut the leather from it. I wanted to do the same for my shift boot, bought the clip alone on eBay, didn't fit at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Switched to poly exhaust hangars to eliminate the side to side play which led to some annoying noises. Think I fixed the random brake fluid light that pops on the dash, if not I’ll be ordering a new cap. Also installed the wheel/spacer. The momo mod69 wheel has good girth and has basically zero flex which is what I was after. I tightened up the heater core hoses a bit, we will see if that fixes the drip B C and SteelBlue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 gf finished up the car today. She wasn’t too happy with it because the paint was very soft/picky, I think it turned out great for 30yo paint.

KaiserRolls Posted May 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Ditched the accordion ebrake boot and the shift boot for some suede bits. fixed the ebrake wiring for the dash light as well also removed the PS. It has been leaking like crazy lately. Ditching OEM stuff and going with -an stuff and braided lines which should show up in a few days Changed the oil too.
