O.D.D. Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 a few more shots of the engine bay and mock mounted grille. next shot is pre - aircleaner funkification aircleaner, now with more FUNK!!! ONE MORE SHOT ...of the whole thing.... Quote Link to comment
O.D.D. Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 also hard to see... I went to the silly extent of painting the aircleaner spring clamps gold. I think I have another can of gold paint.... which means I must need to paint more things gold. Its becoming something of a sick obsession... I tried painting the cat, he was pissed.

O.D.D. Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Alriiight! Parts car sold to a guy down south...who took his good sweet time getting it, but got it done. AND... THE WAGON IS SMOGGED, REGISTERED, AND RUNNING DAILY!!! Hooray for the rebirth... Its so stock and quiet I almost dont recognize it as mine. New tires, New exhaust (cheap generic quiet muffler), new engine, new radiator..... new front and rear shocks... swapped seats, swapped rims...and what is left of my rapidly re-rusting bodywork and paint... (i knew it would happen...) no pics at the moment, but I will get some up soon... Video if I can manage some. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Air cleaner looks like an extra rim. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Radiator dont leak? Heard of issues with these as I have one also but havent run it. I need a quiet muffler for my 521. Quote Link to comment
O.D.D. Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Still running well...no leaking from the radiator, getting a pusher fan mounted to the front is only even really needed for traffic situations. My shitty bodywork has re rusted after 18 mos of outdoor life a mile from the ocean. Nothing quite as badly as the hood...which I was warned would be unsavable. Quote Link to comment
O.D.D. Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Anyone that feels like dropping a beautiful rust free hood in my lap would be remembered in Bronze casting mounted to the garage wall.... Quote Link to comment
O.D.D. Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Been my daily or a year now faithfully and almost entirely without issue. My turn signals have gone a bit nuts, but given the wiring...I am not the least bit surprised. Gotta get the rear end lowered, and I would like to get the chassis re-inforced where the rust may be weakening the uni body @ the firewall. Quote Link to comment
O.D.D. Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 My next half baked idea is to get it registered in new Mexico and remove the smog setup for good. One more year until it faces smog again... so no real rushame there, but some extra he might help me get on the freeway at over 45mph Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 All your pic links are dead. I was hoping to see phuglee, but alas... Quote Link to comment
O.D.D. Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Not sure what I did that killed the pics. They were up for a long time. Quote Link to comment
O.D.D. Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 This car is most likely going to be available for purchase in the next 90 days. Doubtful there are buyers lined up....but you never know. Quote Link to comment
