seems i can only put pics in garage motor is in, trans too- rear end waiting for hardpan bushing -front end waiting on s-10 parts and second half of steering shaft -cars very close lesson in waiting both for parts and people budget blown out of stratosphere outside and interior will have to wait for new budget otherwise im happy

well this car is almost road ready still waiting for steering shaft and hard pan bar i removed hard-pan bushings and throw them out thinking they would come in package from energy suspension oops no hard-pan bushing had wording wrong so Ive gotten wrong parts twice so hurry up and wait for maybe wrong parts again to day i hook up brakes and pray for the car gods to smile on my poor car this project has challenged me to the very edge of my mechanical ability

Well just keep with it because that's what cars do! My Astre fought me for a couple years before I got it done. Now it's just a sweetheart. Been 2 years without any issues. Put several thousand issues on it and it's been fun for all of it.

got the steering shaft today after two mods it fit just fine then discovered front tire problem too big panhard bar bushing in mail usps the slow mail theses will for sure most likely need modified as for they don't seem to sell direct bolt in bushings still have no rear brakes, bleed problems( temporary ) waiting on new tie rod so alignment can be tried i think center link ok just need right size castle nut so i can get a carter pin in it. hoping for first test drive saturday down to alignment shop

[sportster96blk]

well car is running and driving now seem to be having rear end problems i can move right rear wheel in and out and am getting scraping sounds when corning alignment went well not perfect but close ill be taking car to ring and pinion shop that rebuilt rear end

[sportster96blk]

rear end better now car runs great still have soft brake pedal and i cut a hole in my hood for no apparent reason might have closed with only ribs removed

[sportster96blk]

lots has changed now rear end fixed tires seem to jive after 1/8 inch spacers and i-rock spring upgrade and some easement on front fenders-hole in hood now useful because anty peculation spacer now makes it stick out . i add a 2 inch hood scoop also had to get different carb went to Holley street avenger 670 cfm better she went down the track at 8.213 in a 1/8 mile with old carb I'm hoping for much better times Sunday finally got the engine to run at about 190 all the time two 10inch pusher and a 18 belt driven fan and home made shroud 170 deg therm 3 core stock rebuilt radiator. had to have work done on frame so car could come within spec on front end still wonders from side to side on freeway this will take time and money to fix. i had to get rid of valve covers cheap got new stuff aluminum looks nice
