Little bit of an update,
Got my powder coated stuff off Luc. Looks wicked.
Pulled apart all the rest of my steering gear. Gonna get the drag link low pressure garnet blasted as not to ruin the tapers, then hopefully get new a new pitman arm, idler arm, inner and outter tie rods along with new adjuster tubes thru Pedders. Also new LCA bushes, Castor rod bushes, Swaybar links and D bushes, steering box isolator and bumpstops, also thru Pedders.
Then grab some XT130 struts,get em coated, get springs to suit and chuck em in. Then fit up the RA60 rotors and MX62 calipers and that will be the front end sorted. Will source some short stroke 86 shocks later down the track.
Planning on taking the 4K block down to API in early Jan, to get bored and honed along with a deck.
After i get it back an ACL rebuild kit will be purchased. Pistons, rings, rods, bearings, crank, Front pulley and flywheel will be taken to API to get assembled and balanced. Also will send the cam off to Crow Cams to be reground.
I'm looking at buying a ported 4k head at the moment. so head work will be left untill i know I'm getting it or not.
Once the bottom ends installed, i can flip it over and begin building upwards. slot the cam in, line it up, bolt the cover up, water pump, lifters, head, push rods, cooling system etc.
In between all that i have to finish the bodywork, wiring the front end, interior and keeping the old man off my back.
Gonna be a busy few months but it'll get there :)
Began setting up a bit of a workshop setup so everythings a bit more organised and easy to acess
Decent Sized work bench, courtesty of work.
Starting to Hoard all the chrome i can find for these things
And lastly, what do you guys think?
