gdizzle Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Are they single wall metal back there or more? Front are, rears are the exact same arches on 240s.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Front are, rears are the exact same arches on 240s.. MMM fun. I ended up cutting my lip out the rear for the BBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 MMM fun. I ended up cutting my lip out the rear for the BBS I plan on doing the same. The left rear needs repair though.. Rusted out from a bad repair job. Have the replacement arches for it, just need to weld them in, which I'll do next winter probably. Hopefully repaint the car too.

I was contemplating cutting some out from a JY for the gray car. But then I acquired the black car which from a rust perspective is damn near immaculate. I think tabco was where I was looking for some arches but I was worried the 244 arches were not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to dig the source up, but I got them from Sweden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well, I've resigned myself to the fact that the 142 just isn't going to make Carlisle. Too many issue to sort and just not enough time. H20 it is. The work on the car is starting to impede on my ability to work(photograph) and I just can't have that (I really need a studio space ). The radiator I bought is just too big, I was confident I could make it work, but after some serious evaluation, it just isn't worth the effort. I've found a much better candidate and will be purchasing that soon. New rubber bushings are on the way from IPD for the front suspension as well as a rear bar install kit since mine is missing. As for the wheels, have new wheel screws coming in for the last two wheels and I'll get them sealed up and finished this month. So that's that, I'll be in the T5 at Carlisle, possibly co-driven by my old man. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Scored a DCOE/DHLA manifold finally, was going to make one but this makes my life easier.:oogle: Picked this cam up on ebay, it's a CAMTEC CS759/5-97, known as an "R" cam. According to Swedish sites that Karl translated for me, it's a very hot cam and sucks on the street. Sounds perfect.:rofl: Anyone know anything else about this cam?

Wagoneer855 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Doesn't seem like the lift is very aggressive but that's a shit load of duration. You won't be getting a lot of low-end torque with that baby :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdizzle Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Got a bunch of parts in today and had an hour to kill tonight while my daughter went down for bed so I knocked the driver side front out. Swapped the front springs w/ the new Afco 5" x 6 5/8" #800 springs and removed the 5" x 8" #600 springs that were I installed last weekend. Also pulled the brake lines out since I was in there and found that they are definitely the culprit for the non brake bleeding issue.. Fluid came pouring out of the hard lines and not a drip out of the rubber lines.... So already have them on order and they should be in from IPD next week, hopefully... (cough.. IPD? haven't received shipping update cough...). Anyway, more of what I do best...., pics. DSC_5221.jpg by KeysarPhoto, on Flickr Rusty suspension is rusty.
