Here is what we worked on!

93WHITELXCOUPE · 01-23-2008, 11:16 PM

Man someone is proud of their work. :tu:

93WHITELXCOUPE · 01-23-2008, 11:16 PM

Now the finished product.

93WHITELXCOUPE · 01-23-2008, 11:21 PM

Still have to install the transmission, rearend and wiring. I hope to run all the fuel lines and fuel system along with install the rear suspension and rearend by this weekend. If I get the time I will try and install the transmission and start on all the electrical wiring too.

Finally got around to messing with the fuel tank and fuel system today. I had to remove the old EFI fuel pump and install a tank pick up with -an fittings. Decided to clean up the fuel tank cover while I had it off. Also, had a hell of a time trying to figure out where to mount the fuel pump and fuel filter. Along with how to run the fuel line. I think it came out OK. I'm not to thrilled about how and where I mounted the fuel filter, but hey it will work for now.

Also, got around to hanging the GMS Tubular U/L Control Arms that I took off of my car. I think they cleaned up pretty good. I even cleaned the stock springs and painted them with a fresh coat of gloss black.

Here are pics of the rearend that will be going into the car. Nothing special. Still has the stock 2.73 gears. Tomorrow I plan on cleaning it up and giving it a fresh coat of paint before I slide it under the car.

Here are some pics of the rearend after I cleaned it up and gave it a fresh coat of paint.

And before anyone says anything. I did not paint the drums since I will be replacing them.

93WHITELXCOUPE · 02-07-2008, 11:05 PM

Was a very busy and productive evening. I will let the pics tell the story.

93WHITELXCOUPE · 02-07-2008, 11:06 PM

The piece de' resistance :

There you have it! The driveline for the most part is finished. I just have a few odds and ends to take care of under the car before I set it back on the ground. My goal was to have the driveline finished by Saturday. Looks like I finally got ahead of schedule.

93WHITELXCOUPE · 02-12-2008, 07:18 PM

Looks like someone got a delivery from SummitRacing today. [smilie=023.gif]

Thanks! Where are the pics of your car with the new shoes? My car is down right now getting some new suspension along with a heart transplant.

I have been taking my time with my car since I have so many projects. I bought another 86 GT (Extremely cheap!!!!!)

We are actually trying to get my wife's finished first.
