***NOTE*** My last post above was a repost from 04Jun11...similar to Joey's motorcycle rebuild, I am going to keep my progress under one thread versus multiples.
What a better way to spend Father’s Day than underneath a vehicle turning a wrench and getting a tad bit greasy. After church services and a little lunch, Mason joined me in the garage as we were gonna pull Sue’s guts out…
After a bit of research, I knew what needed to be disconnected, labeled, removed, etc. I commenced to surveying the situation.
And under the watchful eye of Mason, I got my fat A under Sue and took out the four bolts that keep her engine attached to the tranny.
Approximately one hour after entering the garage; the beast was out of her home.
She will receive a SCAT engine upgrade taking her from 1600cc’s to 1641cc’s, an generator to alternator conversion and a Pertronix electronic ignition kit. Other than that, standard rebuild with stock style pieces and parts.
I couldn’t have done it without the help of “man-child”…helping his father out on Father’s Day…love it.
Now I can sit back and contemplate the next steps…stay tuned.
