My put er' back together thread
Its almost that time to get to work on the car! Weather is warming up soon, and parts are coming in! Money is being spent!
As you know, i got new wheels, ordered a NEW transmission last week, and today.... I ordered MMS headers!! 
But i still need parts. My next step is a new clutch. Once i have both a clutch and transmission on hand, i will unbolt my old trans from the motor to check my flywheel. Apparently its hard to find someone who will/can resurface a dual mass flywheel, so if it looks okay, feels okay, ill run it. If its noticable that it needs servicing, ill have to buy a new one. I found that a dual mass flywheel is basically unserviceable... But to be sure ill call GM dealer to see if they can do it...
Anyway i will stop in here for parts coming in, and progress.
Parts list
- clutch
- possible flywheel
- all fluids
- brake caliper paint
- headers (waiting for completion)
- spark plugs
- plug wires
- alternator
- possible battery
- misc bolts if i lost any
- fuel pump
- oil/filter
- maybe other things?
Im working hard as i can to get the car ready for the Olds show this year. Its coming up fast! And im trying my best to get the car back to running state.
Im getting excited, im getting really close to putting the engine back in. I miss driving my black car so much. Its sad to see her heart ripped out. 
But anyway! Once i have the clutch/trans on hand, i can replace those parts and be able to drop the engine back in! But from there i will be waiting on headers to come in, i cant start the car let alone bleed fluids without them. So im counting on those to be ready asap! (They are made to order, wait on building them, and coating before they are ready for shipment)
I am shooting for early May to have the car RUNNING, but it SHOULD be done before that, other then the headers. If i can get it done early may and running that gives me 1.5 months to make sure everything is sound with the car before i travel to the Olds show.
Also the fuel pump will get replaced down the road, just because the car has a full tank of gas and im not dealing with that! Ill wait till i get down to E before i drop the tank.
But like i said, ill stop in frequently with updates. I get the transmission in tomorrow at my work (had it shipped there) and then ill haul it home with me after work. Im just getting excited. I cant wait to here her fire up for the first time in months! I almost forget how she sounds, let alone i miss driving the 6 speed, my auto 3400 i bought for a daily is getting boring! I need enthusiasm!
For a mind refresher, here is how she sits currently.

Haha my car is drivable (at least my Olds is) but has no interior. My complete car (Camaro) isn't drivable. Grr.
But those wheels look nice Sleepy! You should paint your valve covers while your engine is out too btw. It would really pop off for the Olds HC

Cool. Wish I was shorter. Thought about installing a stick in my Alero but I'm too tall and wouldn't have enough legroom to shift

Honestly it's not any further to push in the clutch than it is to move your foot from the gas to the brake....

Yes I am. I am 6'8" 330lbs and just barely fit in the car as it is. Thank god for 6 way adjustable seats. I have to tip the whole seat back just tip the back of the seat back and recline the seat all the way back just to fit. |
