Working on the OCC with my wagon buddy...

Well, I had to make an unscheduled trip up to Louisville this weekend....so...I also had work I had to do on the OCC pretty soon. Asked my buddy Mike if I could come over after a gig Sat night and do some crazy speed repair.

So, in about 3 hours we did the rear end fluid, rear shocks and fuel pump / filter. Sure beats doing it at home on my back!! I did the front brakes Thurs night before I left. So, I only have the tune up left to do! WHOO!

This was also the 1st time I really had a good look at the underside of the OCC. It really is pretty nice. I was expecting worse since it suffered through a couple of MA winters (was a NC car originally) Was hard not to clean, paint stuff...but just didn't have the time. It was a 'get in and get it done' job.

You can tell these are 200k gears....not nosy though...but well used Posi is still good too.

Nice shop,..
the rear end looks nice inside really,. the oil doesn't look cooked in the pics,.
I wish my cars looked as nice underneath,.
I notice the MD1 option too,.

I hope you guys blew some oil onto those sending unit lines before you buttoned it back up. It really, really sucks when those lines rust out.

They are fine, looks worse in the pics...but it was minor scale on the outer edges. Still solid!


Yeah, MD1 FTW!

Wait a minute... is this Nick complimenting a TBI wagon?

Is the apocalypse upon us?

Also pardon my ignorance, but what's the MD1 option?

Nice work. You guys were really movin!

Hi Mike!

..and this after I had moved around 520 lbs of dirt and 300 lbs of rock that morning. The desk job doesn't prepare me for that sort of physical activity!!

Had a good time workin' on old blue. She cooperated with us, nothing unexpected or particularly difficult. The fuel tank removal and install went well using the lift & transmission jack. I expected something wouldn't be right (it wouldn't balance well on there, or wouldn't line up or something like that) but it pretty much dropped right down and went back up. Only a little persuasion was required on one strap bolt & the filler/vent tubes. Can't complain!

Nice, almost ready for the big trip!

When you're done with that 3.23 posi, I'll be happy to take it off your hands.

Yes Muffler Delete (1 since I only have single exhaust)


My tune up parts came in. So I will do that pretty soon. I had to chuckle at the box the cap and rotor kit came in....

DANGER!! This TBI will blow your socks off!! haha.
