Tonights agenda was to get the EI distributor installed, but first I wanted to finish a few things inside the car and that basically ate up all my time. EI Distributor will have to wait for another day. Im not in a rush because I dont have a timing light and the car is running awesome right now haha

First was to finish up the rear panel. I already had it trimmed up and its nothing fancy, just some decent looking suede-like material that will cover up the metal thats been POR15'd. I have enough material left to cover the center tunnel as well. Its velcro'd on at the corners and a few center pieces to keep it down and also make it easily removable. #becauseracecar

There wont be any real carpeting in the car, but the entire floor will get the sound deadening/ undercoating removed, rust will get the POR15 treatment and then some floormats. That will be the extent of the interior creature comforts. The goal then shifted to looking at what I needed to do to mount the seat and I started picking at the floor and knocking the loose stuff off. That kept me busy long enough for tonight. I plan to get some dry ice to help with the removal, but for now I will get the easy stuff off. Heres about where I finished up tonight.

It only took a month but I got the rear Bilsteins installed!! Big difference and I’m getting more and more excited to take the car out

Old rear shocks were a huge bitch so I cut them off. That’s what you do with clingy bitches, cut them off



New Bilsteins . So good



It’s getting close to play time

The rear Bilstein install got paused, but should be doen today if I use my "personal" day wisely... but I did get my seat! TSA searched it and allowed it to travel from Seattle to LA

Match! by 2mAn

I couldnt resist yanking the driver seat out and tossing this in just to see how it looked and fit. I think this is a perfect match!

I will still have to finish the work on the floors and also make some rails to mount these too. I have been brainstorming and hopefully will have something ready by the time I can meet up with my friend who has my welder. This is going to be fun!

Finally got to install the front Comp springs and Bilsteins. First side took a little longer than I had hoped but I didn't break anything so I'd call it a success. A little bit of headache here and there, but I finished it today. Won't get to take the victory lap until tomorrow or maybe later.









I should have the rear Bilsteins soon and hoping to get the Comp front sway bar.

Nice new parts! Awesome to see your canyon run, that alfa is pretty slick looking.

Bought, not built...

Im really curious to see how my car does when I have my suspension sorted and my new timing setup installed. It will be interesting to see how this old motor with fresh tires and suspension will do against this big dollar cars

mas trabajo, mas updates.

Parts are collecting for something really nice. New custom valved Bilsteins, Mike Young Comp Springs. This will be exciting, but sadly these won't be going in for another 2+ weeks, so I'll just be staring at them

Nice progress. Where were you on Mulholland? I lived at Beverly Glen & Mulholland for 15 years. Miss the canyons.

Honestly I'm not sure. We drove from the PCH and went up one of the streets cut across Mulholland and came back down Los Flores .

My cool neighbor asked if I wanted to go hit the canyons and I definitely wanted to take my car out along with his. The noise coming from 4 side draft carbs (his dual webers and my dual mikunis ) was pure bliss.

Stopped at this vantage point to snap a few pics







Back to work today!

Finishing tearing the old nasty carpet out!



Seat are out and will stay out for now. Measured up the seat area and it looks like my old Cobra from the Aluminum Monster will fit nicely. Hope to have my hands on it soon. The floors will need a few hours to get totally done so I figured I could get the rear shelf area done.

Here I am halfway done scraping the remnants of the padding


And all cleaned up, and ready for the POR 15 prep at this point



Clean, prep and now painted

[2mAn]

Don't forget to paint over top of the POR15. UV light causes it to break down.

Most of the floor will be covered and not totally visible. I have a plan for it too but the rear shelf area that will totally be exposed is probably going to get a black carpeted piece covering it. I have a bunch leftover from the rear seat delete I made for the Aluminum Monster.

Thanks for the heads up though, always appreciate input :up:
