Jeez. That thing still looks pretty mint considering the neglect.

The correct answer for the exhaust is and always has been parts store glasspacks.

I might have a slight advantage because I'm not taking the motor out until it's road legal, so maybe we, or someone, will have to come up with a mitigating factor.

We should add the October 4 (newbie day) or October 5 (final event of the year) autocross events at Fort Macleod to the checklist.

So that's why my torque wrench is reversible. I thought it was just to encourage morons to use them as breaker bars.

Tire is mounted. Verdict is:

Obviously, the suspension is at full droop so it looks a bit weird, but I think it will tuck up very nicely once it's on the ground.

Edit: 2 minute PS hackjob:



Holy poo poo that looks good. Time to buy a plane ticket to somewhere these are still intact.

Topic for discussion: How upset do you think the greybeards will be that I spent "all that money on a stupid four door" when I start dragging this pig to shows?

gently caress 'em. They'll be dead soon and it won't matter what they like.

Sounds like it's either sulphated or you've got a dead cell or two.

You can get some of the mega-beef chargers to try and break up the sulphation but holy poo poo you better be sitting near the battery with a fire extinguisher when you do.

Just haul it somewhere with a battery tester and they should be able to tell you pretty fast if it's even salvageable. Sounds like no.

I'm sure a guy like you can come up with all kinds of new parts you want that you didn't put on the holiday wish lists.

Or tools.

Friend of mine learned this the hard way on his 73 Nova. Went from a 6 cylinder grandma car to a V8 that ran mid 12s.

Doors didn't line up anymore after a year or so, and that was with only occasionally stomping it.

Yeah but that's just GM door hinge pins :v:

They make a Momo hub for an old Nova? Now I'm interested.

Is the steering column collapsible? :ohdear:

This is basically my nightmare fear for the Momo adapters.

Even for relatively popular cars like the Miata the internet instructions are like "buy a Momo for a different car and then dremel the poo poo out of it so the horn still works." WTF?

Kudos to you for replacing vapour barrier caulking instead of just doing what I do and try not to touch it while also running my arm through it and then swearing at it for days.
