I used white grease. Like bearing grease idea even more.

I replaced my transmission vacume module, shifts softer now, but still not quite what i would like, need do a little adjustment and maybe have the shift points done. All the vacume rubber is good. Also finaly fixed my gauge cluster shift indicator arm. Someone had broken that off in the past...

I can only imagine how bad/scary that was. My old m37 was sitting next to my window of the house and is came off the rim on a hot day, and the tube let go. That shook my window and scared me. Can't imagine that in the rear seat.

Deffinitrly agree deuce. Never planning to keep it at 80. Just nice to know that i got a healthy engine and drive train. Tires are newer.

Well not major, but it felt it. I replace my turn signal switch in the column. That was NOT fun. Deffinitly worth buying a lock plate remover. Alot of dissasembly to pull the old and new wires up the column. Then my horn didn't work. Got it working after 3 dissasemblys, just contacters not...

Have to go back and clean some of the glass where spray got under the tape. Took about 2 and half day to do with prep time. Such a nice feeling to have...

Waiting for better weather to paint, got some surface rust off the frame and painted under neath and in wheel wells. Just fixed rust on the tailgate. That little bit turned out to be way more than wanted. The interior plate in the talgate was rusted through completley on the bottom. Was able to...

OK been a few days again. Got more stuff done, just too tired and busy to post. Got the new dash, turned out awasome. really brings the interior together. I also got and installed a hood bonet. Took decibal readings before and after, and no change, kinda bumbed. Disclamer: decibal was off my...

I actualy found mine off of ebay. Take out of a k5, I have to paint it to match, but hey.... i already got the paint, and just did doors and visors. I paid under $200 for it, going to get tomorrow. Post pics when i get it and then after paint it. If you want to keep cheaper, look for c10s, and...

Got both my doors done, new rubber in all, hate doing the wing windows. Also painted the panels and cleaned windows, lookings almost new. Best part is the insulation and sound dead in them, sooo much quieter. Also found out my side marker lights weren't working, i actualy thought they were...

I tried to get some or a cut out used ones. Eather can't get any doner or by the time you added up the price for the front and rear part of the passenger side plus the shipping it didn't seem worth the price for holes on half of one side. Oversize shipping in CA will kill your budgets way to...

ya, i know its not "hard" its just time consuming. Biggest headake is the last picture, it doesn't come up well but theat bolt is rusted all the way through and thats right above the crossmember. So a new piece would have to be about 1x1 ft big. Lol i cup brushed everything yesterday. When i...

Well more progress. Got the carpet out, found rust in passenger floor board. Trying to determin how far to go on the rust repair. Would love to have new passenger floor pan, all the ridges kind of scare me to recreate. No donor vehicles around me. There was tons of oil under the carpet, going...

SHould have quit while i was ahead. This time i get to give partial blame to cucvrus lol. Got a new regular ignition lock and test fit it, worked. Then i read above and checkec for coded cylinders and saw alot of how to re tumble. So i switched the tumblers so i wouldn't have to re-key. All...
