Well, that was FUN! I enjoyed building the motor mounts.
Still need to install the turn-buckles between the engine and the sub-frame though.
Next, I’m going to put the rads in but, as part of that, I need to cut the openings in the rear ‘fire wall, streamline the air entrance (at the door jam) and fiberglass all that stuff to keep moisture out. This will take a few weeks, probably but “I’ll Be Back”.

for the first time since I sold her 5 or 6 years ago I get to see her on the ground.
Really low and sexy.
After struggling with all I’ve done since getting her home i ws damn depressed but after seeing her like this, I’m re-energized.
Time to get the motor mounted.
Again from the drivers side (where I learned how to do the passenger side) you can see the rotor and spring, the suspension components and the sway bar.
This stuff wasn’t too difficult to put in since it all came out of here some time ago.
Of course, it’s all new bearings, seals, ball joints, calipers, pads rotors and urethane bushings.
Combined with the fiberglass reinforcements new interior brackets and 3/8 bolts, it should be a pretty tough front end.
This is a view of where all the plumbing and wiring went into the sponson.
You’re looking at the back of the wheel well on the drivers side.
As you can see, I’ve left a couple of ‘pull through’ cords just in case I need to haul anything else through there.
That’s the “trunk” area now with master cylinders and hydraulic lines, wiring harness and fuel tank. Whew!! that was a lot of work especially dragging all that stuff through the drivers side ‘sponson’.
