People, stop hibernating and start working on your cars! Winter is now over.
Okay, I'll admit, I too have been a little slack. February indeed was way too cold to be out in the garage. But now, I have some motivation again.
I cleaned, flushed, inspected and pressure tested the stock dual-core radiator and it passes my inspection.
I also picked up a new rad cap to accent the now clean and ready to install rad.
After inspecting my old clutch master, I decided not to reuse it. Instead, thanks to Netcam, I just bought his new one. (I think it's a unit from Rodney Dickman).
I wanted a complete polyurethane bushing kit to replace my worn out OEM bushings. This was easily accomplished by placing an order through the Fiero store. Very quick shipping too, three days.
That leaves the balljoints. Well, the 88 upper is made of unobtanium and cannot be found locally. Instead of finding something dimensionally close, and making it fit, I chose to place an order with Rodney Dickman.
New upper and lower balljoints, steering rack bushing, new rear upright through bolts and tie rod end boots. Again, package arrived fairly quickly at my door in only four days.
Since I'm refreshing all the old, worn out parts, it only makes sense to get all new grade 10.9 hardware for the suspension.
Even though I have some new parts and I'm excited to install them, I still need to maintain the rest of the fleet for the upcoming season. I need to move to a planet that has 36 hours in a day!
