The frame came painted black. The paint was flaking pretty easily, so I decide to repaint it gray. I'm having second thoughts about my color choice though, it's really going to show the dirt. We'll see.
Front suspension.
Cockpit aluminum.
Engine bay area.
I haven't cleaned up the brake rotors yet.
The orange rags
are to protect against ripping skin off my legs. I learned this lesson
the hard way.
Here it is just after starting it up for
the first time
I decide to make it easy on
myself if I ever have to take out the transmission. I bought a Thread Setter
tool from
Eastwood.
This is basically
a threaded rivet. I used these to mount the transmission tunnel cover.
That way all I have to do is remove the carpeting
and unscrew the cover to get at the transmission. I used some 3/4" wide
aluminum as a backer plat to give the edge of the aluminum more strength.
