Today was a simple day as my target was to get the front suspension installed. I had a tad bit of cleaning on a few parts that I did not get to yesterday. No friends who wanted to help, no dropped oil pump pistons or any other parts.
We had a good laugh over that yesterday as I don't know who was more freaked out, me at hearing the comment or he at having unknown parts fall out.
I digress, the process was simple enough in getting the parts put back, but is much easier with new parts rather then reutilizing older parts. Probably the hardest part today was the fact that the bolt that holds the brake line to the hub sheared off yesterday and I had to mill down the housing and drill and tap out a new hole for it. Took a little over an hour from set up to finish, but the bracket was reset.
I will say an amazing thing happened today as yesterday I found that the drivers side radiator was cracked on the housing (more than a shop could fix) so I went to PartsGeek and ordered a replacement...and it showed up TODAY! They have proved themselves to be very reliable with one off unique parts. Not as good as Pelican where I can just call up and have something added in under one minute...but with the radiator in hand, I will be able to button up the front end tomorrow. I am hoping that I can get started on the clutch master cylinder and a few other items for Saturday. The next biggy is going to be the IMS/RMS but I need a couple of tools and parts to arrive before I will be able to get to that.
