Re: New to me 82
Slowly but have tickets for the intervention in September.
Carriage bolts are a real pain.

Re: New to me 82
Good progress! You said it was kinked and bent, but dude! That looks like a stock market graph or a heart monitor readout or something. Certainly not a frame rail.

Re: New to me 82
Really beginning to hate a P-19 shock pin.
Had cracks going 2 inches north and south of the right rear shock. Cut the section out and scabbed in a bit of the old frame. Also took another piece if the old frame to strengthen up this area

Re: New to me 82
Sort of.
Love the 73/74 grilles but also the 81-87 stacked headlights. Trying to convince ourselves it's a viable project. After the eleventy thousands of project we're already involved in.
