Take it apart and put it back together for no reason!!!

Reply #75
Buuuuut I don't like them period!!!!! Waaaaah. I gotta just shoot the hub dust covers black as well as the rear axle shaft ends and get chrome or black lug nuts. The caps just look too "bubbly" for me I guess. Ruins the wheel, which is much more edgy-looking. I know, they're supposed to be there and it looks like something is missing LOL. Maybe I'll pull my head outta my ass someday.

This is also coming from the guy who replaced the stock 14" wire wheels with Turbo Coupe wheels, because the wire wheels suck and I'm pretty sure the car would fry them off fairly easily. My car is not completely stock appearing on the outside, just close enough to fool people ;).

I'd also be interested to know the purpose off the swiss cheese, if there is one.

 
In all technicallity the holes were actually designed for a puropse other than aggrivating us. Theyre a ton of crumple zones. If you hit somthing hard enough it is sopposed to somewhat deflect the damage away from the cabin/firewall. They will buckle instead of force their way straight back.

Car is lookin' rather nice boss

No you should put them back on and be like the Aussies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru13iW4eajY build a 600 horse motor then put...like...emergency donuts on the back so the car whips around uncontrollably and burns them away in 2 seconds :rollin:

BAHH crumple zones. They're not old enough to escape that buzzword. Oh well.

Thanks for the kudos, I'm so happy with what he did. I like to think he's an Albany-area Jerry. LOL
I suppose a customary final pic of the engine bay before it gets re-united with its engine is necessary. Forgot to scrub up right by the passenger hood hinge. I got a lot cleaned in there, this stuff caked on is more like GLUED on. Straight Purple Power works but it sure doesn't just wipe off. Definitely an improvement over what it once was. Can't wait to see it full! Brake lines are back in, everything is set up, ready for the install. Wires and such organized and up out of the way. Kinda shocking how simple it all is compared with a NEW car...though you could make the same argument against a CFI car or late 70s carbed vehicle what with vacuum lines and hoses going EVERYwhere.
