On my 80 series this weekend….it lost some weight!

What is it?

Got it all buttoned back up. Now onto the firewall heater hoses, pesky heater hose and heater control valve this week.

Crank seal and oil pump cover seal today. I'll button it back up tomorrow. 3rd time I've used the "bump the starter" method to remove the crank bolt with an old 3/4 ratchet on an 80. Works like a charm. For the oil pump cover screws, I clean them out with brake cleaner and use the correct phillips bit with a 1/4" impact gun. Tap them in tight with a hammer first. Backs them right out.

What is it?

Looks like ABS?

Marathon seat covers. Passenger went on second. I pulled the seat and got it way tighter. Going to circle back on the driver's when I have time.

Overall pretty happy with them. We'll see how they age.

Tossed in the Morimoto head lights, double low and double high. So impressive

That’s some solid PM. I also lined up my new alternator belts. And after the first start one of them slipped and they are no longer lined up. Did yours slip at first start?

Ha. Not sure yet. I don't have any coolant or a battery in it currently because I'm going to do the FHH, PHH and heater valve next. Likely will start that tmrw.

Takes a while to get them fitted up perfectly. I like mine. Did not like the headrest covers, kept the old SOR ones. Armrest cover is kind of nice too.

On to hiking season? Hiking season never ended. This was yesterday at 3700'. Oh, and I did drive the cruiser to the trail head.

No, there's another month of slushies at Palisades!

Project "Presentable Paint" kicked off this weekend. Starting with the hood.
I actually enjoy the preparation part of painting as it is process based rather than skills based. Primer has been down for a couple of days. First run with 400 complete. Guide coat on for next run of 400 then move up to 600.

One or two little imperfections that will get taken care of when the panel is back on the truck. Overall I am very happy with how it has come out of the booth.

Solid work! Someday mine will get repainted. Too much other stuff that takes priority right now. :/

That's my next project, too.

 

[harrydunn]

PHH, FHH and new heater control valve installed. This is my 4th 80 replacing the PHH on. 3 of my own and 1 of my brothers. The first one I did the "right" way by keeping the metal pipe with the new short piece of heater hose to the head nipple. I was a green mechanic back then (2011) and it took me 6 hours. The last 3 have all been the by-pass method. You just cannot beat it.

Bro, I have to do this on mine too. I am procrastinating. What kind of adhesive are you using? I’d like to get the consumables lined up.
