WilyB's 93 GT rebuild

[Wilyb]

Uh Oh!!

Cleaned up the rear passenger fender well, see pics above, and discovered more damage than I first saw...the big C...

[Wilyb]

So I...

fabricated another top plate, test fit it, and it's drying now... I'll drill holes along the lip and mig weld it into the tower tomorrow...

Nice job Phil, I'm gonna have to do mine sometime too for sure, or I'm gonna find my suspension in my trunk.

The fix looks good. How are the rear quarters holding up?

[Wilyb]

Rear Qtrs are good

I've pretty well taken care of all the rust, there are a couple of small holes where rust poked through. Evidently where water collected.

Patched the holes, sandblasted all fender wells and entire suspension all sides, sandblasted the trunk and repainted it, sandblasted and painted all hubs, lower tables , knuckles, arms, rods...frigg even the wiper arms got wire brushed to the metal and repainted.... oh yeah, brand new handbrake front to back, 3 pcs.

Now all that remains is to find the 400 bucks to finish the job (calipers, rotors and pads front and rear) and take it to inspection.

I won't post any pics until all that stuff is on... looks good though...

Car's built

Over the past couple of weeks I've been working pretty hard on getting the car ready for safety. I finished the interior work as in sandblast the trunk, reseal and repaint it, finish reassembling the suspension bought all my brake parts, apinted the calipers and completed the install

[Wilyb]

Finished the brakes

Once the paint dried I completed the install. here are some before and after pics:

[Wilyb]

Finished the brakes

I finished the brakes, replaced the front pipe, Busted a stud bolt connecting the front pipe to the exhaust manifold, but tightened down 2, figured it was good enough. it didn't seem to be leaking...took it for 4 new tires had to change a ball joint so had them do it while the tires were being replaced. When that was done, I hi balled to the safety inspection station...and sure enough, it failed because of the one bolt... oh and the crack in my windshield. Other than that it was good. It cost me 98 bucks for the inspection. I have to replace the windshield, replace the exhaust bolt, (he said it was leaking too...) and for another 10 bucks I get to plate it...anyways, I should of known...I should have replaced that bolt...

Lets get some pics with those wheels on to see them calipers poking out!

[Turpro]

I'll give you credit for the restoration all day but all that yellow is just killing it. Just my $0.02

[superscort93]

I'm taking it that you would have black calipers?
