TheLoyale Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Coated the Cargo area with Rust-oleum bedliner (Nice hard shell) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man on the moon Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Does the hatch door in the rear still open with the rustoleum? I've been debating ways to keep the hinges active as I want to put bed liner in. Different product, but similar concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been debating ways to keep the hinges active as I want to put bed liner in. Different product, but similar concept. The EA81 chassis does not have the smugglers hatch like the EA82. But I was planning on coating the EA82 as well, and I think this Rust-oleum stuff would work just fine for that. I used it on my Swing arm for the rear bumper with no issues.

mudduck Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Fixed the brakes in my 89. pass. side shoes were hanging up and wore down to nothing and parts were just hanging out in the drum. got everything cleaned up and working right. And washed it. Fired up my 91 loyale and took it on a trip to the parts store. hadn"t been started for 3 months< and fired right up on the first crank.

D'oh, I forgot about the EA81 lacking the hatch. The rest is good to learn, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robm Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I tore into the left rear brake Saturday. (1992 Loyale.) It turns out the shoe hold-down pin on the leading shoe rusted off, and the noises were due to the shoe cocking and rubbing on the inside face of the drum. It was fun to get off, had to undo the other pin, then it all came off. $20 for a new set of brake hardware. Dear old Canuck Tire were the only ones that listed it, so here comes another 2 weeks with funky brakes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kybishop Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Just put a new battery on the 86 GL wagon. Adjusted the belts. Broke timing belts and got those put back on few months back. With the recent rash of rust I think the belts may be what is holding it together now. KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadabob Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Had Brat graphics installed by Pooparu. He did great job on the custom "Boss 302" style look I asked him to do. Painted my Peugeot rims, mounted 195/75/14 BFG A/Ts to them. Still gotta crank up the stock height up to give a little more lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosen Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 14"I don't think they made 15" in that style. Either way I want that set up. How did you paint them? tape off the chrome parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadabob Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yes, I just masked the "spokes" They are the 14" turbine style Pugs. When I got them, they were very rough. I just took a scotch pad and some fine sandpaper for the rougher spots, cleaned em good, primed with a self etching primer, and the paint I used was Exterior Trim paint by SEH, as its a "hardier" paint. The unpainted one below is in AWESOME shape. I have two like this I bought from a Peugeot guy who bought them from a dealership in the 80s, and used for 1 winter. The 5 I painted were the rough ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely be stealing this idea if/when i get those wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadabob Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just masking tape, then an exacto knife to trim. Worked great. Thanks for the "Like" lol. The rims were so rough, I was trying to think of cheap ideas to make them better, and painting black is a popular choice these days. I just didnt like the the idea of all black, it takes away the detail. It took one "test rim" and I was 100% commited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subynut Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Swapped crank pulleys in the PandaWagon. Out with the old: Old pulley by subynut, on Flickr In with the new: New Pulley by subynut, on Flickr It has improved acceleration, but the computer has a harder time stabilizing the idle on cold start-up. Considering how the engine responded to the crank pulley, I may not get a lightened flywheel when I switch to a Legacy tranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
