lethbridge not have the same pothole problem edmonton does? That body kit would be distributed in pieces throughout the city from our roads...

agreed.

We're hoping to get the car together late summer - but that might be a tad optimistic. The worst case scenario goal is SILV.

exactly. I just wish there was an easy way to plate things back to their original finish - every part I re-finish ends up black...looks to be the same for BSG.

hey, slowly but surely is the only way to go! It is such a shame that most of the parts under the car will never be seen when the car is on the ground...you might have to buy a mirror to park over.

Yeah, i've decided not to take any chances and I just ended up ordering a new rear bearing set...for $200, it would be dumb not to. edit: I'm also pumped about the re-built R154...she's going in midweek for service.

had a close call today...started poking around the spray-in sound deadening and found a poorly adhered area....upon further scraping....shit. rust. so, it had to be sandblasted and sealed tough to make progress when you have to clean shit like this up.

it is all stock sitting around in their warehouse since the 80s...that should explain the price. With that said, champion toyota is by far the best place to buy parts from....even if you live in Canada.

THAT was priceless.

lol, sorry guys....either way, I wouldn't want to be sprayed with hot coolant, nor would I want that extra turbulence within the cabin...

Based upon what I have read in this thread, you're going to want to keep those lines outside the cabin so when (not if) they blow, you won't be sprayed with 180F coolant.

you also need the engine mount brackets that bolt to the block.

go right ahead. as far as thickness, sorry man, no clue.

someone explain to me how it is harder on your transmission when shifting smoothly without using a clutch. If you avoid grinding and bucking the car when you pull in and out of gear, it is no different than driving using a clutch.

if you have the head and intake on the block, a little surface corrosion might form, but it just that, surface corrosion. You're not going to pit the cylinder walls in atmospheric conditions, and whatever corrosion there is will be wiped clean when you start the car. Change the oil after a...

check for abnormally corroded bushings too. One may have been compromised by the elements and seized on you.

I have the 2-pod. No problems whatsoever with fitment or color.

Some teaser pics...sandblasting is time consuming and a pain in the ass, but parts come out beautifully. I'm currently waiting for sound deadening to get here - I cleaned the cabin and removed all original sound deadening under the front seats. I was surprised how many holes there are in the...

didn't buy one, but the previous owner threw it in. I only really use it when working on the car...other times, the online one is the only one I look at.

The reason there is coolant in the catch can is not that coolant spews into the cams, it is that the coolant is vaporized and condenses in the catch can.
