I also had the windshield frame rust fixed and windshield replaced.
I started a DIY engine-out service at the end of May. Had the transmission rebuilt. Leakdown and compression passed. Found safety collars on the chain tensioners so someone with a good eye has been into it before. I hope to have it back on the road sometime later this year or early next.
Updates and maintenance for this service have been extensive! 
-Chain Tensioners
-Engine Reseal
-Valve adjustment
-Drain Tubes
-Clutch
-Oil lines, cooler, tank rehab or replacement
-Vac hoses
-Fuel Dist rebuild
-Injectors replaced
-Fix wiring harness issues
-Fuel lines front to back
-Rebuilt transmission
-Rebuilt pedal box
-Shocks
I expected this, eventually. I count myself fortunate that I was able to put some miles on it to love it more before investing a lot more into it. I'm looking forward to the miles ahead. |
It has been some time since I've posted here, but I am happy to report that I've picked up this project again after buying my first house, and moving the car (on a trailer and in boxes) from CA to Oregon.
Some of the recent progress:
1) Installed Rebuilt Pedal Cluster
2) Refurbished and Installed Oil Tank
3) Installed New Tunnel Fuel Lines from Len
4) Procured New Engine Wiring Harness from Dennis.
5) Repaired the body side oxygen sensor harness with the Kroon kit
6) Tested and Resealed the fuel sender
7) Installed new bilsteins in rear
I did not open the engine beyond the timing covers, but I did reseal the valve covers, triangle of despair, installed an aluminum sump plate, upgraded the tensioners, etc.
I'm going to redo the trailing arm bushings, replace the spring plates, and redo the oil thermostat before I consider the rear of the car 'ready' to accept the redone engine.
I'll start chipping away at refurbing the CIS and getting hardware and clamps refinished, soon.
