finally, the last of the bushings came today. so now i got all new bushings in the rear aswell how great
the only old bushing in the rear now is the diff bracket one
bought new bolts for the controlarms and mainbeam while i was at it. just to have done it, the old ones are rusty as hell, and had to be cut since they had rusted stuck inside the bushing tube
bushings are all in. and mounted
Powerflex bushings for the main beam
new bushings from the dealer on the control arms, along with new bolts
Redone all the brake lines, used CuNi (Copper nickel) brakelines
I like new
paint is chipping away. used por-15, but i’ve been too lazy to degrease and clean well enough, ohwell, i could not care less
wise-grip works for just about anything. lol
there is some light in the end of the tunnel now
you can get a uprated bush for the hanger from german ebay. ive got one
don’t think there is any need for that as for now its in good shape
hmm
seems to me that i need new 12pt bolts for the rear doughnut..
i’ve got the M10x40 bolts. and by the looks of it, i need the M10x42. since they appear to be too short
i’m using the rallye doughtnut with the balance weight (1H0 521 307)
the bolts i’ve got are numbered: N 903 696 02 (M10X40) and the ones i believe i need is N 905 222 01 (M10X42)
can anyone confirm this?
and the ones i believe i need is N 905 222 01 (M10X42)
That is correct!
great, then i’ll order some of them
got my front crossmember bushings mounted today kinda pain in the ass to do. but with the use of a long bolt, some washers and a 36mm socket, it got them into the grooves
so. all bushings are now new, other then the rear diff hanger bushing
kinda getting somwhere now
still needing some 4mm dowel-pins tho havent gotten that far yet. but, i will eventually
aaaaand i ****ed up my front engine mount today
it was a bit out of alignment, so i was going to undo the bolt and move it back. but the bolt broke. and i can’t get it out. too much rust. sooo. i twisted the **** out of the mount, so its defective
that sucks
yeah, it sucks, but, i’ve bought a new one :p
all brakelines are now finished.. almost, i’ve got ONE leak by the rear bias valve oh well. sucks. but it was the only one so i’m happy, considering i’ve made all the lines myself
slow and steady
new motormount is on now. rear is finished. just need new vacuumlines to the diff
whats left now is to torque the centre bolt on the crankshaft, then reassamble the toothed belt. slap on a charger and try it out
soo.. i now have 3 g-chagers one who is in holland with pascal. and two at my garage. one jabbasport charger, and one stock
heres the jabbasport charger outlet casing (freshly cleaned)
gets longer and longer between the updates. but that does not mean nothing is happening
slowly getting there now. a bit more portwork to one of my g-chargers, and a bit other things, and theres time for some test driving
car is back on its feet, g-charger is on the workbench finished. need to reinstall it, then start the engine, and go for a test drive
this is going to be fun
