My new parts arrived for rebuilding my calipers and various other parts. I realized I had a lot of parts that needed clean and sandblasting/wire brushing. After talking with my wife for a bit we decided that dropping the money on blast cabinet was the way to go. Safe, clean and able to save us oodles of money since we didn't have to buy new parts. I can now fully resurface many rusty parts on this car. I'm very excited. First up, brake splash guards. They will be sand blasted and painted with a nice durable paint. More pictures to come. Before and afters. Should be awesome. Only problem is that doing things right is going to increase my work time. That's fine. I don't want to go back and redo anything later.

I've got a lot of old hoses to replace. I just placed my order for parts and am waiting for them to arrive. In the meantime I'm taking inventory of what hoses need replacing. All of my hoses are metric. I'm going to phone my local auto parts store today an see if they carry 8mm fuel line and various other hoses. But I'll have to bring them samples. I don't know these sizes. I try to be pretty organized, so I labeled all the hoses and took some pics. I'll take them all out, head over to the auto parts store and see if they can get me what I need. |
