RE: Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser
Today I spent some more time getting the Carina roadworthy again. Every time I visit the garage and have to fetch something I move the Carina 10 meters forward and then 9.5 meters back once I'm done. Lately it was getting a lot harder to push the final half meter into the garage, so I finally made the front left caliper free again.
The weather was dreadful (pouring down) and the garage was quite dark. This was very difficult as my trusty light bar didn't have a charge and I had to use my phone to shine a light on the caliper. It took me an hour to realize the rubber seal is mounted the other way around as on the instructables video. While I was at it I found my front bushings are in need of replacement as well: And also the bushings of the steering rack: I looked at the polybush set I have, but at least two of them are different than the ones on the AE86. So I decided against harvesting the polybush set and I'll try to order some genuine replacements. I also found my left front door has a rust hole on the inside, so that's another setback. I think the door is still salvageable, but once I have replaced the seal on the right side caliper I'll drive the car to a bodyshop to get a quote for fixing this rust and a respray. 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: |
