    I have jad to do similar with an O2 sensor socket. Even the goods ones flex enough to strip the sensor. Put a hose clamp around the end and no more flexing
  6. I would think that's a million dollar+ car. Dangerous to do a no reserve auction on that car unless you need to fire sale it IMO
  7. A heat gun might help
  8. I will look around this weekend PS: 6 hours is alot of time for that dent...
  9. Ferg, Post up a picture of the piece you need. I may have one but want to look at it to be sure C
  10. I really prefer the JDM tail lights over the North American ones. Just another example of how our government can take a good idea and muck it up...

    Glad that worked! Why can't the switch be threaded in some for the time being?

    Unplug the brake switch at the pedal. Its probably stuck
  13. I was thinking there were only 2... Are there two a the wheel ends also? We will use PMs for the details

    Yes, bunny ears Like KeysZ said that means the valve rockers on are on the base circle of the cam and the valves are closed

    Remove plugs Breaker bar until lobes on #1 are up and timing mark should be between 5-10 degrees Post up a pic of where the rotor points at that time or pull the distributor and post a picture of the drive spindle under the distributor

    Blocking panels and wet sanding to 600 grit I have a number of them ready for color. Most of them were pretty close to ready before I got pushed out of the shop by the Goon a while back. I may roll the chassis outside tomorrow and shoot some epoxy on it. We'll see

    You could also get a remote starter button and bump it from under the hood. No helper needed I avoid asking my wife for help in this area because she doesn't like doing it and sometimes lacks finesse...
  18. I was looking over this today. I am pretty sure I epoxied the middle and spot welded the four outside spots. The same way the factory evidently did it
  19. @One Way Freshly plated 🙂

    I wasn't sure I could push them out. They seemed to be molded on to the rubber

    I would love some when the time comes!

    So I got the plating back I have the car back in the shop and the goons back outside. I hope to have color on it this fall before it gets too cold
  23. I believe the mechanical pump has that procedure. I don't know about the efi pump
  24. I dont know what the professional was thinking!

    It depends a lot on where you live. My current project was very rust free. And only required two small floor board patches. They are getting more rare though
