Rally America Car #666 Pictures

[JPmotorsports]

Having grown up in Kansas myself, I know just how much winter kills a car, especially states that use salt on the streets for melting ice. Jim and I are spoiled by the SW, even more so for me in Phoenix. (Jim lives too close to the ocean!!) LOL

What!! Huh? (Jim says as he pulls head up from super secret ocean kelpbed, spit's snorkel out after spearing un-official world record sheepshead [35.5lbs] that's probably older than him...)

WOW!! Nice shot on that one... One of these days I need to get out snorkeling with you.

-Jon R.

I'm originally from Minnesota and it's starting to look like this thread is slowing moving into the "fish story" territory that I know so well.

sweet pictures!

I dont want to derail this cool thread, but out of curiosity I google imaged sheepshead as that is a weird looking fish, I came up with this...



thats... umm... a sweet... uhhh... fish! yeah thats right, fish! (yes there is a fish in this picture, you have to focus away from the picture and you kinda see it in the corner of your eye! lol)

Try googling the west coast sheepshead photo---it is weird looking---but I like your image better...

I guess I should add some more pictures before this thread goes wildly off tangent...

New computer parts, yes, I'm a huge nerd an built my own computer.



New springs and brake fluid.



Pre-disassembly. And I apparently drink a lot of beer.



The secret to holding the strut rod still while torquing the end nut.





Speaking of salt and bad weather...






Fronts assembled.





Rears assembled. I took the stock struts apart because my other top mounts were bent too bad to get them into the car.



New rubber.



I thought this was clever. I've always had trouble getting the rear struts in and out but this is the way I get them in. Install the top mount, get the bottom bolt in then apply the jack as pictured until the top bolt hole lines up.




Oops, I guess I'm going to have to re-weld that tab. If I have you make another one of these for me Jim, I'm going to have you use MS21059 floating nutplates so the bolts are easier to get in.






Would it really be a project without an injury?



Despite my efforts to keep this thread on track I had to throw in what I have my backdrop set to.
