Laminova cores were gross. Still need some cleaning but they soaked in CLR for 4 hours

 

As of this sunday.

Ecaulk and I pressure washing the subframe. it was 60 here in Colorado

 

We forgot to take a before pic on the subframe, thing was coated in oil grime from an old oil leak at the water pump

 

looks like a nice build.

 

what are those square things were the rear sub-frame bolt goes through?

 

Just an area of the subframe that is missing paint. Its just the subframe

 

darn I was hoping it was some type of padding to help with vibrations

 

Looks great! I'm super excited to see the car when its all done. Good luck!

 

1 month update.

She will be started on Sunday!. I can't wait to drive her.

 

Nice!

 

It did start and idle for a bit. Now to finish the suspension, new brakes, and new wheels/tires

 

Nice to see you reviving this car.

 

Haven't updated in awhile.

Car started and idled fine up to temp. Then brake fluid started to leak between the bellhousing and motor. FML.

So it sat for a week while we started to pull the trans out.

 

Our ghetto temporary engine brace

 

bonus pic of Ecaulk cleaning out the bellhousing.

 

That engine brace works lol

 

it does. ghetto as ****. but cost me $15 in wood lol.

 

I might need to get me one of those lol

 

Harbor freight sells quality ones for like $69 or something. but i was being cheap cause I dumped enough money into this beast. I used it to hold for about 10 minutes while I moved the subframe out, then I put a jack + wood under the oil pan.

 

I dont know how quality they are wait till I buy the Schwaben one for doing the clutch on the Audi then we can compare it to the china freight one

 

quality meaning...better than a random 4x4 wood beam lol

 

Still not sure if I would go that far yet

 

Lol exactly harbor freight stuff isn't really any good

 

Some of their stuff is actually pretty damn good, other things not so much. Then some things need a little adjustments to make it work right (thats what happened with my walnut blast gun, had to drill out the media feed hole

 

That's true one of the main reasons I try to stay away but I might have to go buy one either way
