Project Car 1985 900T - jskrebs - Pennsylvania, USA

Interior is back in and turn signal works. Need a new carpeted piece for the console, the area where the clips attach are all messed up.
Also fixed High Beam, needed a new relay and had a spare. Got the radiator fans all working properly.
Drivers window is non operative, the lights dim slightly when I try the switch so I suspect a jam.

Got the window working. Had to take the motor and gearbox all apart and clean out the dried gunk.
If you are careful when drilling out the rivets you can simply screw 4/40 machine screws through the gear box to hold the cover on.

Yeah, I've done that before. Worked great and appears waterproof after 5 or 6 years.

Arrgh!

Mechanic who busted my turn signal also neglected to torque my new half shaft axle nuts properly. So 2 new wheel bearings, and no Christmas card for him! Have a spare set of hubs so I pulled them apart and will blast and paint them and the backing plates prior to new bearings being pressed in. Should make for a quick swap out.

Put in the back set of Koni's which really make the car feel balanced Had gas a just units. Funny how when riding in this after my Fusion it takes a while to get used to the lean since it has not ARB's, and the Fusion has zero body roll. After a few turns to get acclimated the smile is wide as this car is just so fun to drive.

I have almost 1000 miles since the motor installation and T5 swap and am really enjoying the car. Will post a series of pics soon. Not sure if I should keep the car as is a "Survivor" or get it painted up all fresh and nice. It is in pretty good shape except for the hood leading edge.

Nice day and an hour to kill so I took the 900 to the park for some pictures. Last ride till I get the front wheel bearings and front end alignment done.

Those Incas make that car look freaking great.

If you ever wanna sell that let me know

Looks great! Need some more wheels for that? I think I got 2 Inca wheels and some soccer balls.
