We've made a lot of progress on the GT6. First, some weird stuff was uncovered in the front suspension. By the looks of things, the car had to have had weird handling or was difficult to drive! I never understood why people make repairs like this rather than fixing it correctly.
One of the springs had a spacer on it.
2 completely different control arms were used.
The front sway bar is really bent and pretty much not useable.
The sway bar mounting points were bent upward rather than being flat. They're going to be reinforced.
Stripped hub on the bad suspension side.
Carbs are rebuilt and ready to go.
Exhaust manifold coated with jet hot coating. Cool stuff.
Engine bay cleaned up: Originally I was planning to just have the front sprayed before reassembling the front and installing the engine. I'm now thinking of having the whole car resprayed.
The original floors are in good shape with only minor surface rust. The only real rust is the battery box. Once that went, it allowed water to leak on the right front floor.
Another bummer that was discovered is that the rear diff was welded. Good for racing - bad for street.
That's it for now
