The Slut

Don’t get me wrong love the Junkstang aka Hellelenore. After the 35 mile ride in this morning L5 S1 loves you so much more.
Who cares about air ride you can’t get GOOD parts for anymore anyway. Bilstein coil overs baby!

The pipes that pass under the diff have to be refitted, not today.Rattle a bit mostly driverside. Honestly, I just want it out of the garage and on the road. Not tomorrow either. 😆
Changing the mount and clamp for the mufflers and tips.
At the time bought a pair of genaric tips, cut them up to make them fit. Some how never cleaned up the inside of the passenger tip. 🤦‍♀️ Good help is hard to find.

Transmission is ready to go back in. How do I get it back in the garage by myself? Then over the hump in the ramp for the lift?
Had to stand on the end a little, keep from sliding. Guess I should bolt it down 🤔 Maybe even level it!
Since I’m unemployed at the moment, bang this bitch out and get ‘er back on the road.

Forward drum is getting some upgrades.
Sonnax Billet extra capacity.

Pic of the piston kind of hard to tell maybe.
One of them was debur, sanded out casting porosity, parts tumbler, then polished to a mirror.

This kind of work has been the biggest hold up on getting this done. Time for the details. Finding what works and what works with less effort.

Is it worth the trouble? Depends who you ask and personality.

Most agree debur is a good idea.
How do you destress a pieces of aluminum? 😂
Idea with sanding and polishing, promote fluid flow and cooling. Every piece of metal I can is getting the treatment. Yes steel/iron, cast/machined parts as well.
