For those of you still following this, we're coming down to the wire. This year has flown by.
Too tired at this point to give a lengthy description of what has transpired since the last update. Forgive me if I repeat some details.
Once we finish the body work on the tail end I have an old friend that owns a couple of body shops lined up to shoot it.
Again sorry if I missed anything, it's been a blur.
- Front end totally rebuilt (bushings, joints, torsion bars, everything)
- Disc brake conversion installed (SBP)
- Speedo pulled (again) and serviced by a 70 year old guy up the road (works like new)
- Cleaned up some details in the interior
- Alignment
- Several test drives around town and several thumbs up
- Tightened up the steering box
- Drives like new (Need to get the front sway bar in)
- Cut lower rear quarters out (rust and other damage)
- Slooowly welding in the quarter patch panels over the next few days
- Additional Rallye rim hardware showed up
We pretty much just need to install the front sway bar, replace the door glass, install interior door panels, wrap up the body work, paint, side graphics, and Jr. is free to take care of it and do what he wants with it for the rest of his life.
I need to get back to my Bird.
