Pooparu

Man, I just through some starting fluid in and this thing fired right up and purred like a kitten. So I put some air in the tires and took it for a spin around the block. I found a couple of things wrong with it. No 3rd gear & oh ya NO BRAKES!!! I flew right through a stop sign (luckily there were no cars coming). So I continued my journey using the e-brake. The thing ran so good though.

looks like an '81 brat.

oh:slobber:, a second generation touring wagon. You just don't see too many of these around.

Yes, good ol' Italdesign. You just got to love there cars.

Maybe, if only I had one:grin:

Sweet!

New gasket, no rust and I didn't do it myself. I bought the windshield from Brain & had M.S. Glass come over and install it. I'll have some photos up this weekend. Lots of them.

I want all the extra parts you have!!!! I really need one of those shifter consoles. Let me know if you want to sell anything extra. I want to put my coupe back together too.

I agree. The title reads "good wheeling shots". Example: Let's see 'em!

GET IT FINISHED!!!! (did that work?)

That's some good car porn right there.

Got the new windshield installed yesterday. Next I'm going to paint the bumpers.

It's alive! I drove it around the other day and guess what. Reverse pops out of gear just like the last transmission before I totally blew it out. I'm really close to having all the interior put back together then I'll snap some more photos. I'm wondering if it isn't a problem with the shift linkage itself or just another bad transmission.

I can't wait:slobber:

Keep it going

So yesterday I got -The brakes bleed -Transmission installed -e-brake cable installed So this week I'm going to -Install the exhaust -Put the interior back together -Have a new windshield installed

So I pick up a set of rims for the coupe. It's taken me days to get these refinished, but the results should be good. Before: After: Polished the lip and painted the inside gold metallic.

So I got the rear disk brakes and the lsd installed now. Hopefully this weekend I'll have the transmission installed. Then I can put the interior back together and snap some photos to post.

Here are a few of the ones I have and don't have anymore.

You know I can't keep anything stock:grin:

I know, I know... (you old school purest are so particular). I want to go with a complete EA81 drive train. I've got a guy in AUS. that's going to ship me some duel port heads & a duel carb set up for an EA81. So I want to build the crap out of the motor (EA71 pistons, H.P. cam grind...). I'm going to strip the body down to bear metal and straighten out all of the dings and patch in the few small rust areas. I just need to start collecting all of my parts then the build begins.

Stage 1

I know, but I still have to break it off so I can take it back to Sears and get it replaced.
