subscribed. 4 pages and still no wheels? lol jk. easy to be impatient on the forums, but you look like you are using your time wisely. can't wait for future updates. btw, where are you in the bay? would love to see it in person..

i wanna see some wider (maybe bigger) and shinny wheels on

For sure.That is a must. First, I am taking care of maintenance, body aesthetics, and mechanical modifications.

Hey, have any interest in a set of euro staggered headlights/buckets/grilles for this bad boy? A good friend has a set for sale. Would really go well with the rest of the euro conversion you are doing. LMK

Good looking out man. Sure I am interested. Been looking a well...pm me the info.

Hell ya! Just remember getting to all the bell housing bolts, unbolting the motor mounts and jacking up the front to allow it to swivel helps out a ton.

Good tip bryan.do you guys have a machine to check if a driveshaft balances out? I gotta do everything in one pop and don't want to be messing around swapping in bad parts...

small update. 5 speed swap began.

started tearing down to do the pedal box swap. found out that the brake booster was leaking at the pedal side. needed to buy a new unit as i didn't want to play around rebuilding this.




pedal box disconnected





this is the best opportunity to replace the booster anyway. i didnt have to remove the master cylinder because i could slide it out towards the rear of the car.












pedal box primed with rustoleum and painted with black lacquer.



new clutch master cylinder





cruise control is for women. removed that which will help tidy up under the hood as i clean it up later.




fresh hoses for everything that connects to the power steering reservoir





all in. next is the fun part of dropping that heavy autotragic.
