Ghia update - Passenger side ready!

After couple of hours of wrenching, i got the parts back and now we have a working rear suspension, ok i might change the rear shock absorbers to stiffer ones, the rear feels a bit "soft" i'll check what i have. Also the engine is making me a bit worried, should i swap it to a 1600 "trasher" engine, will see bout that, i really would like to put a stroker in it, but i dont have any to put there for the moment, the strokers are mostly parts... :-/

But its better now! A good day!

Its not very high, but its high enough!

Say no to lowering?

... Not ecxactly, i just have to raisen up the rear of the ghia, 

because with the engine i cant get it out of the garage, so i have to 

make it more driveable... The passenger side brakes are now pretty much ok, 

so i have to turn the car around. ;-)

El cheapo ghia

Last time at the cottage, i wanted to stuff the engine to the ghia, its a "trash bin 12-hundred" so not much of expectations here, but im just doing these things to amuse myself... I dont know anything of this engine, but it turns, so thats something atleast. I had a new pressure bearing so i sacrifised that to this project, and it was a good decision, the used one was toasted. What i have to do also is to raise the rear because the rear suspension is useless, too low to drive, and it will stuck in places... I would like to put winter tyres and try this sled in the icy roads.... But anyways its fun to do things. To be continued...

Braking bad - ghia update.

This is an easy task, to fix the brakes, as i have new brake parts in the boxes, the winter is coming so its no use really, but i want to do this to feel better. 

Theres not much of brake fluid in the system, but that makes sence, previous owner in california told that it was a car for the wife ;-) heh, totally rusted floors and no brakes, except the hand brake.

Whats next after the brakes? 

There is a 1200cc "montster" :-) waiting...

I hope the next updates will concentrate to the black ghia... But thats a new story ;-)
