What did you do to your 2002 today !

[flagoworld]

Fín. Took about 2 hours to fully reinstall. I am sure I could do all this in half the time now that I’ve done it once. And would save myself a ton of time on not touching the flex disc bolts at all until out of the car. Just remove the two linkage bolts and go inder the dash and remove those 4 bolts holding the column in. That was the way for sure. It was also very easy to line eveything back up straight and push the column back into the linkage. But lets hope i dont have to do it again. No leaks from steering box so far and it’s been 24 hours full.

 

It looks like one can remove the shim plate while installed in case anyone has a leak there.

After doing an engine out refresh, car finally fired up last night after I got my kugelfischer back from rebuilding (3.5 months wait).

Another simple job! Squeezed my hand and a shorty 19mm into the tranny tunnel and replaced the switch… finally have reverse lights!

Ages ago a friend cut out some vinyl stickers for me and I finally got around to putting them on my wheel caps. Poured some epoxy on top. Came out pretty nice!

WOAH!  I have never seen someone with the same Epsilon Super lights before!!!  However, mine are bronze and desperately need a refresh!  So much info can be found about all the other epsilon wheel (southernways) but I know VERY LITTLE about the super lights!

 

I am currently missing a center cap, but mine do not look nice and flush like that!  Are those after market? If so, where did you get those???

Where did you have it rebuilt?

Finally nearing completion on Rust Bucket dismantle, what a PITA, seems like the last time I did this some 30 odd years ago it wasn't nearly this hard😁

But that car was just smashed, not packed full of rust, bedding and rodent crap, I swear, I have filled up my big shop vac 3 or 4 times.

Once rust bucket is out and off the lift its time for a garage cleanse and bring Survivor back in for winter.

Then on to building replacement engine for Franz.

Love the Max Jax! Best possible solution for my space.

I don't know much about them but the fitment matched what I wanted and I thought they looked pretty good. I got them from someone here on the FAQ a few years ago. They were black & silver when I got them and fairly dinged up. I sanded them and filled the dings with metal reinforced body filler, then repainted them in... I THINK it was Chrysler Alloy Silver color from one of those "OEM color" spray cans at Oreillys and then clearcoated with a can of wheel clearcoat. They've been holding up great. The center caps came with them, and the Superlite stickers that were on them originally were very worn down, so I took them off immediately.

 

Anyways, if you want some caps like this I can 3d print them for you. You'll have to sand, fill, and paint them though to remove layer lines. Really I can do any style center caps, I just need to know the dimensions of your HOLE. 😋

Parked next to a 3 series.  Looks like the younger cars ate a lot of junk food growing up.

That’s hilarious. I did the same picture with my e28 next to a modern 5 series... the new car looked twice the size

Supporting her own weight on the rear wheels, finally.

 

now just gotta torque everything to spec. Unfortunately my torque wrench only goes to 200, so I gotta borrow a big boy bar from my local shop to do the hub nuts. Then it’s brake bleed and doneskis

Finishing up the last details on the 71' Malaga.

1) Replaced right side axle, hub, wheel bearings, and nut.

2) Replaced rear wheel cylinders.

3) Replaced leaking oil pressure sensor.

4) Replaced 1 piece of leaking fuel line. Need too replace it all.

5) Tightened super loose fan belt a little. Bushings seem to be shot, or missing.

6) Inspected steering linkage. Outer tie rod ends are very loose. Need to order.

7) Shifter is very loose. It looks like a mount has broken.

😎 Inspected water pump. Bearing has a little play in it. No leaks. Will replace.

9) Repaired used heater core bought on eBay. 

10) Test drove the car for the 1st time in my ownership. Drive created need for several of the inspections quoted above.
