Greetings,
I haven’t posted in a while because my SC has simply been in occasional use but not subject to maintenance or repair.
It’s due an oil & filter plus a few other items, such as brake fluid flush, speedo pulse sensor replacement, hand-brake adjustment, new door seals and chasing a couple of rattles. General TLC for what’s been a reliable motorcar.
One thing made itself obvious as soon as I put the car in the air and pulled the wheels: both rear sway bar links clearly hadn’t enjoyed the compression they endured with the car being lowered. That certainly explains the car feeling a bit squirly and some noises I heard the last time I drove it. I’ve ordered adjustable rod-end type replacements.
Last October I sold the ‘87 924S I’d rescued from the junkyard and invested much time and effort in rehabilitating. I used PCARMARKET.com and did ok. Within 48 hours of receiving the money I’d spent it on something else, a ‘57 Willys Pickup. I’ve always thought they’re the coolest looking machines; I already had the Jeep penchant having owned a 77 CJ5 in college (which likely means my Dad was the one on the title). I’m keeping a thread about it on oldwillysforum.com.
Having two similarly-purposed collector/hobby cars never works for me, and I never had any intention on keeping the 924S. But a sportscar and an old truck? That works great.
Best wishes to all,
John
