Little update:

Still waiting for those mitsu parts

In the meantime, I have tackled a few things.

#1. Shopping. I should have bought these ages ago. Clean hands rule.




#2. CV Boot. Cleaned out joint, greased and booted. Done!



#3. Inspect the lower rad support damage. It's bad.





I know there is a member on here in Beleville that can help me, but I need to break in clutch before that kind of highway run. Need something to tide me over for this year and get her done properly next year.

Little sketch...



Lucon Metal Trip. Result:





Test fitting, little cutting. Little drilling.



Apply some rust converter to outside of rotting lower support, spray a ridiculous amount of rust check oil protector inside support and liberally outside to sandwich between new metal sleeve and old lower support.



1/2 Stainless Bolts, Washers and Nuts (with red loctite) in the thicker part of the lower rad support. Much less rot there. This thing ain't going nowhere for awhile and give me something to mount front of cross member to.

Going to seal the ends with Sure Seal Automotive Black Sealant and give it more paint.

Tomorrow tackle airbag peeling cover, deal with rubber mounts for condenser, spend more time straightening fins and maybe some more spit polishing.
