A few weeks ago I bought a new water pump and it came with the gaskets and O ring. I installed the pump, but I didn't put the water outlet on the pump. I then proceed to lose the O ring for the water outlet and I got angry again and put the car aside again for a few more weeks. All because of a $1.27 part.
This weekend I got the water outlet back on and the cooling system filled. Fired it up and let it run for a few minutes and no leaks this time!
I also used my spanner wrench and (hopefully) set my ride height for now. I may need to jack it up again once I have driven the car a little bit though. As I was messing with the car, after I rolled it back and forth a few times, it looks like it dropped a little.
Got my pedal pads installed, they are aluminum and bolt in replacement of the rubber pad. Had to drill holes in the metal pedal pad. Of course they are crooked, but I am not going to fix it right now. No one else will probably notice since they are far under everything.
The last of my "major" projects this go around are to finish my steering column conversion, which is basically putting a 3rd/4th gen column in the car, and to weld in a pin for the clutch master since I had a bolt in there before and I didn't like how it was. Even though I had a bushing in the clevis it still seemed to bind. Now I have the Tick master in there and it has the rod eye and I bought a 3/8" clevis pin. I just need to weld the pin into the pedal arm and that will be complete too.
After that I will do my alignment and front sheet metal and I should then be able to drive again!
