    I need to use the trunk for strollers and kids stuff. lol #parent

      Rear Axle mock-up finished. Moving on to rear upper crossmember. Might replace 9000 series bags with 7076.

          Thanks!

          Don’t have any new pics to add but have been busy refreshing lot of different things:

          Oil pan appeared to be leaking so it got a new gasket. It’s probably not going to do a whole lot since it likely has the original felt front and rear seals.
          Replaced the fuel pump gasket and found the spacer had a crack, so that was replaced too.
          Replaced the three deteriorated rubber radiator mounts.
          Replaced the clutch master and slave.
          Have new wheel bearings, ball joints, brake calipers, an M41 gasket kit, and a clutch on the shelf ready to go next. Meanwhile have been searching for missing seat hardware and trying to find replacements. Found a radio block off plate in my spares - score!

          Suspension-wise, final mock-up on the rear end is taking place. Replacement KYB shocks came in so mounts will be fabricated for front and rear. Fabricating mounts for the ecu to hide behind the pump and under the tank along with valve block. Tank received fittings, and now air lines are being planned.

          Getting close.

              I have a couple boxes full of '71 144 parts and a full front grill with headlight buckets that need a new home. So you need to get to work.

                Up here this time of year everything gets to be covered in snow. Especially out where the car is right now. Might have to wait until spring to get the car home. Definitely interested to know what you have in those boxes though...

                              Got the rear axle back in (woo hoo!)

                              Ran into some issues with the wheel spares I had. I have (2) 4"widths and (3) 4.5" widths. Weird.

                              But here's a picture tucking 15" wheels in the rear, which would never happen because the frame would be on the ground.

                              Got to figure out what I want to do with wheels. Any suggestions?
