Project Kodachrome: '73 Roundie

Why not just go with an e21 radiator? Would be way cheaper, thats what I run on my 2002.

Those aren't too available around here… oh well...

We should be picking the car up from the welder's shop sometime next week. I'm thinking about an Ireland Engineering radiator, and soon after that comes in, the car should at least be registered.

[MrJereMoose]

I should have an update in a few weeks. Things are slowly coming together.

[tognettiza]

we have some from a parts car so might be able to help ya out.

If you need a 2002 radiator I have one I am trying to get rid of. Its a great looking car!

[MrJereMoose]

Going to the body shop for the shock tower soon...

[MrJereMoose]

I've been wondering if klutch sl1s would fit on a 2002. They're 15x8.5 et17.

[MrJereMoose]

Hmmm... 15x8 Enkei 92s or 16x8 Jsutai Style 5s?... I'm just trying to figure out something cost efficient as a first wheelset for this project..

[DinanDave]

I'm one town over if you ever need a helping hand....

[MrJereMoose]

What is the best way to go about spacers with these cars? Am I going to need longer studs or what? The car is currently on a trailer at my parents' house, but I'm still trying to figure things out for when the weather gets better. I know I've blown my personal deadline on the car, but I still want to get this project underway as soon as I can.

This is taking a step to the back burner as I had to take my Jeep off the road. There's just too much to fix right now, so for a winter vehicle I think I get to borrow my dad's '87 Grand Wagoneer, once it gets a new motor... I'll focus on getting the '02 the help it needs soon though. Currently this is it's needs list:

-Rust holes in floor, rocker panels, firewall, shock towers, trunk (it's not bad for the northeast!)
-Brakes rusty, needs clean and lube
-Driveshaft support broken
-Various oil leaks
-Front end bushings all cracked
-Radiator core rotted-weak
-Engine misfiring, not running on 4 cylinders
-Brake lining light on
-Transmission leak
-Rear end leak

[MrJereMoose]

so the SH car's specs are 15x7et25 and 15x8et12

Since I want poke I was thinking 15x7et12 in front and 15x8et0 for the rear if those will fit and I can get those ordered... (Diamond Racing doesn't seem to offer a positive 12 on their 15x7 online...)

That will be the plan unless some cheap 4x100s find their way to me.
