Did some welding on my Ford Capri Parana rally car ... The roll cage is out of spec so it needed replacing ...Scary old girl to drive ..LOL ...

Tried cleaning up my tensioner with 400 grit paper last night but realized it's more of a job than I need considering the rest of the engine looks pretty bad. At least the major dirt and grime are off of it.

I might hit it with a wire wheel on my Dremel tonight but we'll see.

Ok you can stop the teasing now

I really like that era where they all had such distinct shapes and features... back when cars were cars...

It has the identical paint scheme, but is a four-door. It underwent a frame-off repainting, got a new wiring harness, suspension, reupholstering, and a complete engine rebuild. I'm now going through the chrome (geez, there's a lot of it!), polishing what is good and packaging up the pieces that need rechroming.

Cleaned up all my tools and put them away..Then rearranged the 1 car garage and stuffed the 76 Hondamatic in there. I have 6 bikes in the gargae now..tight spacing but the doors close!!!

Sounds like it's gonna end up real nice

Will you be posting completed pic's somewhere? Would like to see

I'll take some pics when it looks more like a car.

*Finally* figured out how to get the trip meter reset knob of the speedo (it's threaded) and got the speedo out of the housing.

Next I need to work out the best way of cleaning them up... degreaser, kero, or metho.

Then I need to work out the best way of lubricating them... Mr Sheen or Silicone based spray lubricant...

Finally...











Is falling in love with titanium pipes wrong?
