took apart the transmission to clean it up a bit and paint the case
















then cleaned and replaced the bushing on the control arms

 

wow, you took apart the trans to paint it? that's some work for paint. kudos to you.

 

well, not just for painting but to learn and see how bad it was...and it wasn;t so bad

 

Too much Mighty Car Mods. Why didnt you use the high heat paint? I bet it melts/flakes off

 

meh, whatever.
if it flakes off then i'll just pull the engine out and re do it...no biggie

 

Impress us. One up Jeffbucc and polish that beast.

 

my OCD is not that bad...i get enough **** from my friends for going this far...and his **** starts getting expensive very quickly...he is an inspiration tho..

rebuilding the control arms.

so after testing that the balljoints aren't bad, they are actually pretty stiff and grease was cleana, just ripped boots..i decided to get energy suspension bushings.
while i wait for the bushings to arirve, i took the LCA and UCA apart

best tool ever created to remove balljoints wihtout damaging the boots...def worth the purchase


all boots removed


old ripped boots


also took apart the alternator to clean it...because bored.








bearings look good without any play...may or may not replace them.

thing was pretty dirty and some rust but that will all be good once i clean and paint it.

 

So, triple post?

I propped one of them because you're crazy, taking the trans apart and all. I'll prop another one once it goes back together and it's running. lol glad you didn't give up on the car.

 

and you'll prop another one when i do my friend's tarnny....we going for a crazy color scheme..his is a show car tho...and i learnd a few things i will do on his,
