I hate you every time I see that garage floor!

The floors trash honestly. Now its bleeding oil, cause somehow its under the coating. You can see it in the thin spots.

Would it be possible to mount all that stuff under the console in where the storage cubby is, and just have the handle coming out where the original e-brake came out?

It can, but then its too far back for me to comfortably use it. Its not pretty but I have the best range of motion I can get, its quick to reach, and the seat doesnt dig into my shoulder pulling it.

How about turning the valve 180° so the hoses are under the console? I think I'd hit them all the time

They arent in my way. And I guess you theoretically could but I havent seen any of them like that.

First oil change the cars had in about 4 years.

Milage wise, went for about 1,000 miles.

 

[CDsDontBurn]

I'd change the oil out at least once a year if it's not driven very much each year.

That means I woulda changed out oil and filters a few times that even had NO miles on it.


Im very adamant about changing oil in cars Im driving. Every 3k miles.


If its sitting, literally not doing anything, and its not safe to drive, sorry. I dont see the point.

Revision who-knows being uploaded. A "kill tune", an 89 oct tune, and an 89 oct with a stock MAF tune as a safety.

Diff cover brace is on. Hoping thatll limit the amount of stuff that can break with the new handbrake.

I know that's not even the worst, but still. That so much rust....

Oh thats just surface rust lmao

 

[CDsDontBurn]

That's the sad part!

For us here in California (or the sun belt, really), we'd call that rusted out. People would genuinely get rid of their cars because of that here in California.

Even CA cars have surface rust on the diff and half shafts, they’re bare cast iron, unpainted from the factory.

It would take a very long time to actually truly rust out a cast iron pumpkin,

I have chosen not to make a statement based on my personal opinions.

This pumpkin was actually pretty rusted, its noticably smaller than most on the top and around the ears after I hammered all the scale off. That and it being a 3.27 open is why I didnt feel bad about welding the spider gears.

 

[Wile E. Coyote Jr.]

Working on the black dash, cause I decided its just gonna go into the red car, and I decided to show my "restored" VMM.

 

[Wile E. Coyote Jr.]

And finally got a GREAT condition, period correct Alpine.

Nice new head unit!
