Tomorrow I will begin the work I haven't been able to do for the past 7 months. I bought most of all the parts I will need. Due to lack of time with overtime at work, school, and a death in the family; my car has been put on hold for awhile. Also, the acquisition of the McLaren slowed the process as well . But tomorrow I finally have a day off, and so does my friend and also my father. This means I plan to get some serious stuff done to the 86. I basically have the interior completed except for a few odds and ends. Tomorrow begins the removal of the old 302, 7.5" rear and all of the suspension and 4-lug components. Then I will be welding in my subframes, and roll bar. Also, the whole undercarriage will recieve a few coats of Eastwood rust encapsulator and rubberized undercoating. I don't know how much will get accomplished but I want to get all the heavy lifting done when the help is available. Just thought I'd share my excitement about finally getting to my original project
Wish me luck.
