Clean up…

As with any project there are some things you have to revisit. The front left fender was catching the tire and it broke the bottom corner of the fender, the starter was grinding, oil was leaking from the drain plug, the car needed to go lower, the rear toe needed addressing, and it needed more front camber.

I started with the fender.

I used a two part epoxy and a piece of metal on the back for reinforcement. I’ll fill and repaint this later. Maybe just some touch up paint.

Then I did the drain plug. No pictures but I switched to a longer magnetic one and added Teflon to the threads. No leaks.

Next was the front camber. The top coil bolts were about an inch away from maxing out in the hole of the strut towers. So I used a drill press and hole saw to extend the slot.

Now I can put bigger tires up front.

The starter was grinding because the bottom ear broke off and the starter was misaligned.  I’ll have to pull the intake manifold an install a new one.

Then I installed rear toe plates and lowered the back. I also installed stronger trunk struts for the metal trunk and wing.
