On the right an OE ST185 Flywheel, on the left, a OE but lightened ST205 Flywheel... just a tad bit of surface rust that appears to be coming off nicely... (also pictured, BC Coil Overs and an ACT Clutch Kit)
 Like I said, the rust is coming off nicely with some 0 Steel wool and some WD-40. I think I may still get the surface gently kissed - we'll see.

Seeewwww:
Made some progress tonight, got the steering rack out (from the cabin - the whatever on the engine bay side wasn't going anywhere). popped the inner tie rods off and test fitted the new inner tie rods:   Here is a photo of the part number of the tie rod that *should* adapt the US-LHD rack to the superstrut suspension:

Back in the bat cave:
    And that was with NO scrubbing....  I gave them all a good scrubbing and dropped them back in for another hour or so - should be finished tonight! This post has been edited by qatar11: Nov 6, 2013 - 7:25 PM -------------------- -Mike

QUOTE (enderswift @ Nov 7, 2013 - 6:57 PM)  What cleaner is that?  It is ZEP industrial purple. I boiled a two gallons or so of water, dropped that into the bucket along with a quart or two of cleaner and sealed it up... obvious warnings about the fumes when cracking that thing... -------------------- -Mike

I just found this topic and I must say WOW. I wish I had an 8th of the balls to start a project like this. Then again, I also wish I had and 8th of the garage, or any garage at all.

Did you ever sandlbast the hubs/kunckles? I'm thinking of buying a sandblasting cabinet.

Thanks man  in terms of insane car projects - I think this one isn't so bad... 90% of the car is plug and play... my biggest issues are buying parts from Europe and the cost of those parts...QUOTE (czwalga @ Dec 6, 2013 - 11:28 AM) Did you ever sandlbast the hubs/kunckles? I'm thinking of buying a sandblasting cabinet. My hubs / knuckles are good... I highly recommend the cabinet but get a 60 gallon compressor with 100> cfm at 100 psi -------------------- -Mike

I sandblasted/powder coated my hubs and knuckles.
I also did it without a cabinet lol. Completely worth doing, however if you send it off to powder coat they'll sandblast them anyways. If youre not going to powdercoat, no point in sandblasting |
