What did you do to your 2002 today !

Installed the holy grail of trim on my '68 this past weekend. Then found a mural and a tea.

Cleaned up the 3.64 longnose. Seals will arrive Friday, then paint.

 

Will be such a pleasure not to have to shift every 5 seconds.

 

 

Had my exhaust guy make up a tail flange piece for the Stahl. Will be sooo much easier to place and weld the bung this way.

Off to ceramic coat tomorrow.

Yep, removed everything. Headliner, rear windows, and sunroof were installed before the car was returned today.

Thoroughly cleaned the car, installed the firewall insulation, then ran the wiring harness. Installed taillights, rear running lights and center trim. Good first evening...

It’s been too long since I last worked on this car. I was finally able to pick up the cylinder head from the machine shop last week. I assembled it with a IE 292 cam last night and got it mounted on the car. The IE header is just resting there ( a few studs are too long to make everything slip fit- I’ll address that next week). Hoping to make smoke on Tues night.

Rear brakes, spare tire well and  started to work on shock towers. After getting the new brake cylinder on and putting shoes bake in it was fairly obvious that I got the wrong size shoes sent.

You backed off the adjusters, right?

I hope those cherry tomato seeds are of the heirloom variety. Say NO to GMO!

Finally did the "rotten job", replacing the clutch master.  Thanks for all the advice on FAQ on this job.  I did discover something interesting: I got some dirt/junk in the hydraulic fluid supply line that comes from the brake fluid reservoir.  When I cleaned out the lower end with a q-tip, it came out black with guck.  And it just kept coming.  Finally I ran a thin wire through the supply tube and attached a cloth swatch, soaked in brake cleaner, pulling it through the tube, like cleaning a gun barrel.  Came out absolutely black.  Did this 4 more times, till it came our mostly clean. If all this dirt and grit was still in the tube, I wonder if this is why replacement clutch masters can fail so soon, or why the clutch slaves often fail soon after clutch master replacement?   Gravity bled the system times 4, working the clutch peddle between bleedings.  Even with all other components cleaned or new, the bled fluid looked like chocolate milk.  It's good to flush the system every 150,000 or so miles, I guess.
