dag nabit... I've got a silver early K front clip I've been saveing since the late 90's , 2 cloth daytona buckets and the right 5 spd console for a K car - in dark grey ... a digital cluster WITH tach & 16 inch pumper rims ..and do you think I can find a decient K wagon ... NO , not a chance
florida ...scrapping ... I just wanna scream
Hopefully it won't come to scrapping. Its got some slight rust but far from gone. I also have cast control arms with urethane bushings and polybushings sway bar.
Turbo Dodges are worse than a dose of the Clap, at least you can get rid of the Clap. This past weekend I cleaned out the garage and shoved the wagon inside so I can work on it. Unless I find some large surprise maybe after Easter i'll get back on it.
The Florida sun has done a lot of damage to the paint but the interior is mostly still good. Thats a shadow not a dent on the right fender.
This what happens when a project sits abandoned. Doesn't look almost new. I've never even started the engine.Got off work around 1 PM today so got a little more work done:
So far from this:

At least the hatch area cleaned up again.
So the whole ratty engine bay is killing me. It's not a show car but I like a somewhat clean bay. Well my mild OCD bit me. I decided to bead blast the w/p housing and replace the w/p:
All but two bolts cooperated. If I can't get them out this will be added to my jy list.
The rest of the stuff to be blasted, vc not pictured:
Plus the alt adj brkt I need to get. New alt bushings ordered today as well. Once the engines buttoned up i'll start on the fuel lines, pump and tank.
If theres something I hate, its something I don't like...
Went to the jy Sunday and had to basically pull two water pump housings to get one where all the bolts came out. Found one with a fresh w/p so for $13 I got a housing, pulley, pump and an alt adj bracket I needed as well as the tear drop part in great shape which I didn't need since I have the rbryant bracket. Sand blasted the alt bracket, idler pulley bracket, w/p housing and all the misc bolts. Painted everything not aluminum and now I just need to get new w/p seals, repaint the block and I can start to do the final assembly then start on the fuel system and hopefully start burning gas.
