Big Sky Euro

Car has been smelling of fuel lately. Loading up for a 450mi drive I see a puddle forming under the accumulator........

Just the other day, a friend was over and asked how my glue was holding up, as I had repaired the return on top of the assembly some 5 years ago. It was cracked so I cleaned it and covered it in fuel tank repair cement. I had completely forgotten until he asked.

It failed I think its because I had to use ethanol gas the other day.





Now I no longer have a spare 60mm accumulator housing

Put the entire assembly in.... Leaked like a sieve

Found issue:



Put together once more with new seal....... sprayed fuel everywhere. Had ring on caddywhompus. Remedied and all seems well after being soaked in fuel for most of the day.

Going to maybe go for a cruise after doing my chores.

Fought a few of those boxes in my time. Final fix was joining the return lines together and putting in a walbro 255lph in place.

brax has a ton of those accumulator housings lying around

Good to know Benno!

So I've been waiting to post updates till after the All Euro Show that got canceled. So here they are.

This car has been mechanically sound and running trouble free so onto aesthetics.

Decided to Whore it up a little with a set of 15" RS-001's.
Somewhere in there I added Crosshairs and Smoked bumber lights too.

Tires are too small:



New proper sized BFGoodrich SportComps and changed the bolts to shiny ones.




Catbutt is proud



Decided the paint has gone too long without a good rubbin. Had some nasty oxidation going from not sitting outside. Took a few hours.




Front door polished but not rear



Getting in der good!



Ewwww!!!!!!



Hood done




Ohhh!!!!!!



This is a lot of work. No power tools on this ol' girl.



Little touch up here and there made a difference at 5ft plus



Getting things back together. New door handles.



Trim gets treatment




Now for the Whoring. So much for The EuroShow
















Fin





Next up, bettar side markers and tail lights minus NiteShades.

Wow, nice work on the polishing, looks great.

thats purty right there. I'm not sure you really need a new paint job yet!

How is your paint job looking?

after a month of waiting for patch panels from rabbitparts.com, they are going to be welded in and body work finished. Then, its time for paint! so hopefully soon

Rad!
