as soon as i get it back i have it at a shop to fix the rear

[greenformula92]

[ted gerlach]

your correct, what i cant fix [ pinion bearings on a rear ] and what i cant do [ no welder ]

[ted gerlach]

ok rear is fixed need to get all parts from moser. rear all rebuilt, and ac compressor unit installed, now no rear end noises and ac will freeze you out of the car,
car was a bit more than i was expecting but its done and done correctly, will be driving it today
need to save up to get the radio i want in as well as a new upper dashpad plastic thats the next step

[89 Iroc-Z28]

its a nice car from the pic you showed me good luck with it

[ted gerlach]

well minor hiccup, left front caliper locked, going to replace both fronts as well as both front hoses, just put the cross drilled & slotted rotors on hope i did not mess up the rotor and pads on that side, its so bad the wheel is locked and just sliding the tire hope that its not flat spotted to bad

after work replaced the both front calipers and both front brake hoses, put my HP wheels for a different look, took for a little ride, spanked a wannabee mustang gt, he want home with his tail between his legs

[ted gerlach]

ok so today i got some parts for the beast, 2 side skirts, back bumper, upper dashbard plastic and a ta hatch
i put the used but new to me upper plastic dash board part in and boy what a difference, and to the bad stuff, i accidently closed the door and squashed the driversdie a-pillor trim.. [opps]
also decided to figure out the driver door rattle, well i need to replace the glass, the pin with the roller on it to keep the window in place as it goes up and down tore off the metal frame thats rivited to the botom of the glass also need a new window guide it broke that off also, just need to see my buddie dave with a parts door a get what i need,
then we tackle the other side, motor is dieing,
but the car is comming together,
now looking for a good headliner, mine is really tender,

Ted, the intent of the members rides forums is as much to show your cars as to discuss them. as in pics. How about adding some pics to your threads to stay with the spirit of the forum, huh?

[greenformula92]
