i got a lot of work done in the past two days. i cleaned out the garage and got rid of all the garbage that has been sitting around. today i mounted the hydro brake. it feels pretty sturdy so far.
-
I'm digging those seat repairs;)
that was on the car before i got it. there were really ugly seat covers on the seats before too. i need seats.

good news guys, i actually did some work tonight. i bought some brake lines for the hydro and after jake flared them for me (i couldnt get them to save my life.) i got everything tighten down except for the inlet for the master cylinder.(i striped it.) im going to try and tap it tomorrow before i buy a new master.

i got my brake line today,
the lines from the hydraulic brake.

what's next?
i plan to get my steering column fixed. there is something bent or messed up so that why ive been having that turning issue.

ok well i havnt posted in a while since i have had to deal with not having any money and trying to get my new job and school set up. since i last posted i took out my steering column and linkage and found out that my linkage was in bad shape.
i saw that people would replace the rivets with bolts, so i did the same
i used some grade 8 bolts and nuts with loctite and lock washers.i haven't drove it far but so far it has held up pretty well.
i also took my ABS out and ran all new brake lines.
i got a new cheap seat for free from a friend and also a seat belt from my dads friend.
i made my own seat bracket to hold the new seat and i welded the seat in the car.
the seat belt is from R.J.S. racing. i got it because it is expired, according to SFI standards.
i installed it but i will be getting or attempting to make a harness bar to attach the shoulder straps. for now i have them bolted them to the rear seat belt anchor.
-
i also made a new handle for the hydro brake. i will be buying a new master cylinder because the one i have now doesn't lock up the rear brakes on pavement.
next thing on the list is coilovers.
