SoobieDoo Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Looks great, and at least a lot of the major work is already done! You might want to add a seatbelt retractor to the list as well.......just a pet peeve of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1982gl4 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Subsribed I have seen this brat on here before didn't realize you ended up with it. I really liked how the rear quarters were cut and the bumpers look awesome. Can't wait to see progress on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooparu Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Update: So I've got the Legacy seats installed & all the interior painted, but not put back together yet 'cause I still have to swap out transmissions. I have been working on the rear end though. Swapping out the open diff for an LSD one, replacing the drum brakes with disk brakes. While doing this I discovered that the driver's side rear wheel bearing was toast so I've got to put a new set in. Also I had a lot of trouble removing the pin from the outer end of the axle. So I'm working on removing that too. Then I'm going to rebuild the axle. After I get all of that back together I'll replace the transmission then get the interior put back together and finally paint those beautiful bumpers and skid plate. Here are a few photos of my current progress: Just so you know the punch is stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idasho Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Thats because you are using a standard punch, instead of a drift punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Thats because you are using a standard punch, instead of a drift punch. I would think that a Drift Punch would get stuck easier 'cause of the tapered end. I was using a nail punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idasho Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Sorry, I should have said drift PIN punch. I do not have any true drift punches. I find them useless, and yes, they would become stuck too. All of my drift punches are technically drift pin punches. No taper, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
