1971 Plymouth Valiant "Granny Smith"
Now that it runs, it was time to do an oil change. While it was idling to get the old oil moving, I revved it up a little and something fuzzy jumped out the exhaust. Ended up being a mother mouse and a couple of newborn mice attached to her!
The dino juice going into the engine. Might bump it up to VR1 10W40 or similar once we get it on the road.
Another shot of the underside. I don't think I should be able to see the back seat from here.
Also now that it is running, it was time to begin spending my money to make the car better!
- Aluminum Master Cylinder w/ adapter and 7.25 BBP axle shafts from Dr. Diff (also have their proportioning valve/distribution block too)
- CPP 11 inch disc brake kit! Comes with everything to convert the SBP drums to BBP discs, including new spindles and upper control arms (one of the only kits that offer this). Did have to wait over 6 weeks for them to ship, but ordering through Summit helps eliminate the shipping costs.
Other parts not seen:
- Inline Tube Brake, Fuel, and Transmission Cooler lines
- KYB shocks
- Kanter steering linkage kit (steering and idler arm, tie rod ends and sleeves)
- NOS Moog Camber Bolts
- Rear brake parts for the 10x2.5 inch rear drums
- New fuel tank and components
- New aluminum radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, fan clutch
- New 1 qt deep transmission pan and bolts
- New firewall gasket kit
