Time in Garage Wednesday: 3 hrs
Travel Time Picking Up Parts: 30 min
Spent: $2.00
A good day (Wednesday) in the garage. A huge contrast to my less than stellar day on Tuesday...I finished modifying the dust shields (see earlier blog entry), cleaned and repacked the front wheel bearings and picked up some new Grade 8 bolts for the front suspension caliper plate attachment and mounted them. All brake and front hub components are now staged for installation. Of course the installation will be temporary pending receipt of the Rack and Pinion kit (which won't be permanently installed until final body mounting so the steering shaft can be aligned up properly) and related hardware but nevertheless it will feel good to get all the pieces out of boxes and onto the chassis.
The donor car spares/rejects/ discard pile is growing bigger. I had to reject a front wheel bearing in the reassembly process due to binding so it too was added to the pile.
