Do anyone see the irony in that wallet? Yeah, was going to say the same.

In celebration of a complete teardown! Toe arms are an exception and can wait until I cut some bad rocker panel apart. Good news is I have met, and will be doing side jobs for, a restoration expert! He can be my go to for welding and bodywork, and has a sandblasting acquaintance. Apparently I have done such a good prep on the car that sandblasting shouldn't cost too much at this point. Need to now buy wood to make a car dolly, and sheet metal to start fabbing patch panels. I m also torn between getting this thing cleaned up and in primer ASAP or doing a quick mock up for wire tucking, shaves, deletes, new brackets, relocation, and ducting. Problem is I dont have any of the required fuel, guage, and ignition upgrades. ($$$)... Sorry for the slow progress monotony.

Based on Mike's previous posts: money is more of an issue than time so I guess it make sense to keep going with it. My only concern if the following was done: - document the order of how parts were removed - sorting bolt/nuts/washers/small parts into individual labeled bags/plastic folders. - labels on wiring and connectors Disassembly is nowhere as easy as reassembly. 90% of people would end up 'giving up' right about now I agree with Terry on that but I still keep my hopes up for Mike. Keep on going !

I would say the only concern would be, labels on wiring and connectors. Everything this else you can lookup and figure out but from what i have seen it's always a struggle to find help with wiring.

New rims for the 1G, courtesy of the 2G. Here is the picture I was supposed to take a while ago. The Azenis tires are stupid sticky for a street tire! Can't lock the stock dual piston brakes with them. Tread wear of 100, but I've already done 3 Trips to Ziggy/ Niagara Falls and they have lots of life left in them.

They do look really nice in person. At first I was kind of skeptical and thought they didn't look good, but in the morning once the rain passed, I had another look and I decided to leave them on.

I'm glad to see that 1G running!
As for Mike's car, my god man, I don't want to sound like an ass, but I highly doubt that car will end up back together.

What rims are those? I have a set and didn't think that they were DSM rims.

Well I guess I will fix up both sets of rims. I am not sure if I like the 2g 16" swirlies or those better.

Far better braking power than the oem's and also the ease of pad replacement, ALL calipers should come apart like these.
Seriously, all you need to change your pads is a set of needle nose pliers, pop off one e-clip, remove retaining pin, remove caliper, change pads and do the reverse. 5 minute job.
