Not much of an update, but something. Yesterday was mostly just cleaning. I took out the battery tray and it is done for. Between two sheets of plastic the tray was mostly just powdered metal and rust flakes. Sounds like a breakfast cereal. Stays crunchy even in milk! ( Ren and Stimpy reference, thank you very much ) So I think I will move the battery to the trunk.
The brake master cylinder had been leaking at some point in its life, and there is a lot of corrosion around it. I haven't taken it off yet, but it looks to be only surface corrosion. I didn't really want to do this because I am lazy, but it looks like I am going to be taking everything out of the engine bay for a more through cleaning and stop rust job. I still have not found anything worse than surface rust, and its all from the battery and BMC. So thats good news.
Test fitted the wheels and it looks really nice. No clearance issues at all with any of the suspension. I didn't think to jack up the suspension arms though, so all I have are these pics of the wheel miles away from the body. Don't think I will be doing fender flares. Probably just a roll for tire clearance.
The old 2M gets no love. We just pushed it into the bushes. Some guy was walking by and said he will take it away for free. I guess he sends them to Guam or someplace and rebuilds them for racing. Cool.
