Been working on a few things which have turned into multiple things once in the garage. I started with a carb tune-up, that went smoothly. I then decided to replace the power steering pump. It took 5 days longer to get than I expected and once I received it I screwed up the pulley on the stock one so I will need to pick a new pulley up in the am.
Since it is in the garage (supposed to be there for 4-5 days) I decided to replace the u-joint on the passenger side which was busted. Turned out that I needed a new axle for that side (pic # 3). I ordered both sides from Tom's, they should be here on wensday.
Since I have everything apart I ordered new ball joints, then I decided I might as well do the front disc conversion.
The wife says to me this afternoon, "I thought you were going to wait till there was more room in the garage?" (My son is living with us since he started a new job and has all his stuff in the open side). It snowed tonight and the wife's car is sitting outside!!!?:? I supect my name is mud at home.
Also why didn't anyone tell me that once you start you will have every tool you own and some from the neighbors scattered all over the garage! This thing is killing me, I want to drive it so bad, but it has to be safe. I still need to get the seats back in after i replace the floor pans up front and seam seal it and POR the rust areas then duracoat. UGH.
