I guess I forgot to watch this thread when you started it, but I’m glad I found it again. Great work so far!!

Lol, work from home

 

[Kaane]

New evo vi shift knob

 

[Kaane]

Got the driveshaft all taken apart. Replacing all ujoints and bearings.

Cv joint looks good no real wear.

 

[Kaane]

My ravenfab waterpipe arrived as well.

 

[Kaane]

Replaced the cam seals, they were so hard it felt like they were made from plastic.

Got the timing belt on as well. I will have to take it apart later, since I still want to replace the lifters and springs and valve stem seals.

Got new hardware and new oil pan as well, old was all dented.

 

[Kaane]

Small setback. I did a leakdown test on the motor and it was poor with leaks through the exhaust valves. I pulled the head and valves looked pretty crusty, but the worst part was when I removed them. Found a fricking hole in the casting right behind the exhaust valve. So now I need to source a new head.

I did also rebuild the rear axles, with new boots and grease.

On the suspension side, I picked up the Rear Toe Eliminator and got it welded up.

 

[Kaane]

Worked on cleaning the chassis a bit. Cleaner the front subframe and undercoated around it.

Got the wheel wells done as well.

 

[Kaane]

Reman steering rack installed with new bushings.

Rear subframe done. All new bushings and ball joints and toe eliminator.

 

[Kaane]

New shocks ready to be installed.

New Steering Wheel with quick release.

 

[Kaane]

Head is finished, being shipped to me. Basic stuff, valve job, manley single springs, GSC Stainless valves, new seals, light pocket port.

 

[Kaane]

Got the head and installed it with ARP studs.

Amazing stuff man. I can see you're also in Dallas which is neat cuz I'd love to see this thing pop out to a couple meets or something when it's finished! Becuase there is nothing like a well built 1G, and if I ever came across one, I'd sell my 420A in a HEARTBEAT especially as clean as yours is becoming on the inside and already is on the outside!! Proud to see it man.

 

[Kaane]

Got some powder coating done. Chrome Bronze.

 

[Kaane]

Got rear brakes on with new braided lines, new pads and rotors.

Finished the timing and put my fluidampr pulley on with new timing cover, got the intake installed as well.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Hey great build. Did you have the VC blasted before powder coat. I had one done years ago and they didn’t remove and clean behind the baffles. Ruined a new build for me.

 

[Kaane]

They taped up all the baffles before blasting, so nothing got behind them.
