SWEET! On both accounts.

New fan shroud came in with the quickness.

York 3 row pulley, new clutch, fan and belts on.

Redirected the evap tank line towards the purge valve. No longer sticking 3 inches into the air and looks stock now. The oe evap line works perfect with a slight trim.

Nice work, I still need to button mine up. Did you pull it to bend it or do it where it sits?

Hood refresh complete. Cleaned all the grease and grime off.

Rewired the under-hood led. Wires now pass through the hood ribs and out the passenger side.

New hose, diverted valve, 3 hole style washer squirter and applied seam adhesive to the loose hood ribs.

Going to wait on installing the hood insulator after I attach the hood.

 

[TYM4FUN]

New exhaust gaskets, studs, nuts and old manifolds on. I decided I am going to button it back up N/A for smog in the Spring.

New valve cover is out getting sprayed 97' Toyota Supra red, and when it comes back I will start on all the fluids.

Once I discovered the all red hazard switch, it was a must have for me. Dorky I know...

Exhaust cushions were tapped out again, so swapped those.

I like the red hazard...I have an order out for one too. You must be getting really close. How long has your cruiser been down so far?

Holy cow this pan took a lot of scrubbing.

Got the seam in the middle of the collector welded up and filed down, then installed it.

Run Diesel engine oil and you’ll never scrub again.

Mine was very clean inside after running diesel oil.
Outside however, definitely took a lot of elbow grease to get rid of 28 years of crusted on oil/ dirt flavoured concrete!

Yeah, I was talking about the outside. Also, I run turbo diesel oil.

I run Delo in everything including lawn mowers, dirt bikes, cruiser except my wife’s car which is under warranty still.

Did you apply white silicone to seal all the seams under the bonnet? @TYM4FUN

GM joint and seam compound. No more floppy hood.

I had no idea this was even an issue. I learn something new daily here.
