What did you do today to your 3/S?

Cuz green, just sayin...

I replaced the heater hoses on it so I could retop off the antifreeze. Tried to get it started but it refused. Wanted to kick it.

One of the last times I had it started the hose had split and I want to get new hose on it and get anti-freeze back in it so it doesn't freeze up.

Now, Brian - you've been ignoring your beast.

Needs to be coaxed into not ignoring you back. :wink:

Running out of nice weather to be able to do that. It gets dark too fast in the evening now too. If I can get decent enough weather this weekend I will at least get it started and let it idle a little while.

I'm actually starting to wonder if I will ever get the car back to its former self...

Utility heater and new steering rack boots arrived today. Should make work in the garage much more tolerable

Took 90% of what's needed to drop the trans out tonight. Will finish and pull clutch in the morning. Hopefully I'll actually get the car to 100% mechanically finally since I've been procrastinating on doing the last few things that needed done. If I hurry I might even be able to get a pass in down at Kearney before they close for winter. Edit: Nevermind, this weekend was the last one for all the strips close to me.

Better not to rush it I think :p

So, before I get myself completely nasty working under the car again removing that shit, I've decided I'm going to get some painters coveralls with a hood, which when coupled with my face shield should provide full protection against this rubbery shit once it gets knocked off (as it is very very ahrd to wash off.) I have even contemplated using aircraft stripper on the under side of the car, I will likely pick some up for the control arms and subframes anyhow.

Suffice to say, I wish that I had a way to get this onto a rotisserie and media blasted. Given how much work this has been, I'm even on the fence about putting down Lizardskin or similar first so that I never have to do this again.

Picked up some more tools and stuff from Harbor Freight today..$80. Don't tell the ol' ball and chain :suspect:


Also, recorded brief demo videos of the front bushing replacements which I will be uploading to my build thread later.

I'm mocking up lower seat rails for my corbeaus. The corbeau sliders go too far forward, don't go back far enough, and sit a little high for my taste.
