Installing The Rear End
Posted on: Sunday December 31, 2017
All, lots of us have struggled with and in most cases won against the heavy lump that turns the wheels. Some times the major problem has nothing to do with the rearend. The exhaust system, or back half of it needs to be gone, lots of places for the little Spitfire or GT6 to fight back. A couple of days before starting, put some penetrate on the brackets and pipe overlaps. While at it, give the rear long bolt, were it goes through the back a couple of shots. The bolt gets stuck in the collar of...
Running Lights.

LOL I used a 3/16 inch spring pin cut to size for the door handle pin, used fine needle nose to hold it in the hole, much easier. I still had the original plastic covers for the inside of the door. Don't know if I'm up...

Finished the tunnel upholstery parts and my fingers are sore. Used a heat gun to get things smoothed out and can live with it. Now to get it all screw down, always fun to line the old hole up, that might be impossible on these parts as they had all kinds of holes in them. Also got the speakers in yesterday, not much, but I won't be able to hear them anyway, but needed to fill a hole and the radio does have a phone Blue Tooth, what ever that is, wife finally gave me a phone and said keep it in...
