Elmo the fat chick

ruckus · 2004-10-20T09:16:11+00:00

Well here she is. She's just had her engine rebuilt - nothing fancy yet, all stock. Body-wise she's ok. Stupid council in Geelong dropped a cherry picker on the roof a while ago (we think) and there are still a few dimples - don't know if they'll show up or not. Some rust in the usual places (bottom of doors etc) but won't really know till we get her stripped. She'd had a really bad paint job before we bought her a while ago. Pan's stuffed as you'll see in later pics. The rear window was leaking for a while and stuffed the footwell behind the passenger and the rear parcel shelf. Immediate plans: Rebuilt balljoint/IRS pan with front disks (if I can bloody find or build one) Koni's all round. 914 rims 😀 And maybe a Ragtop Any suggestions? [ Edited on 23-12-05 by ruckus ]

Yeah that's coming. The narrowed beam you see here is going to be stored for the oval (down the track). The adjustable beam I bought from Ben the fireman (harryman) will go on this and once I've got the tyres sorted I'll have to think very carefully about what carpark to use at work because of entry/exit angles 😉

Can't wait. This will be done in two weeks!

Hey Doc here's the go-pedal I was talking about. Might be a bit tricky as it wouldn't be as easy as just knocking the pin out of the hinge, but we'll sort it out eh?

It's 244mm long, 46mm wide; so a bit different to the standard one. I was thinking we could even graft the back of the standard one onto the back of this one?

Cool sounds like a good option.

Lots of work done this weekend. I don't have any pics, but many lessons were learnt. Turns out both pan halves need to be replaced, one of the trailing arms had to be cut (in various ways) to get the sucker out and there is pretty established rust right down the tunnel.

I'm just glad I've got good mates to help me out. Many thanks to Beerdoc and CAFFINEPUSHERMAN for all the help yesterday.

Got the other side off with out any drama but the bush in the arm was solid on the bolt
I assure you this was the last option but Pusherman would have gone the hot spanner a lot earlier🙅
