Turk’s Buildup, One Dream & Endless Nightmares by Turk82

3 minute(s) of a 202 minute read

It wasn't necessarily a warm weekend but I got a lot done on the car. I had a friend come up from Philly to help and we got the suspension and brake lines done, along with getting the oil pan resealed and new motor mounts installed.

Powder coated goodness

After we called it quits on Friday night. Got the rear suspension and brake lines installed and re-greased all the Powerflex bushings.

My roommate's 240 also sold so we pushed that out for the new owner to pick it up and make room for the parts explosion.

It's a little sad to see a clean 240 go. a fairly rust free 240 is a rare breed in the northeast.

Oil pan resealed, Finally.

All suspension and brakes done!!!!

Part of the bargain was that I had to help install engine and transmission mounts in my friends speed3. Simple job on these cars, only a few bolts to remove and re-install. Had it done in under 2 hours.

Lets take a minute and talk about spare parts. I didn't realize how many parts I had stacked up over my 3.5 years of owning an FD until I cleaned some stuff up and organized today. Its getting to the point that I don't want to store anything else in the garage attic because its overflowing and probably nearing the floor's limits.

This is only 1/4 of the attic

After I did some cleaning and organization I took a parting shot for the night to remember all the hours put into the car this weekend.
