Progress, what’s next on the list?

Next up is continue disassembling anything I’m not reusing and go through the engine. Radiator is draining right now to be pulled and will have lots of easy access to the front of the engine.

Hey, look - a heater core and fan motor mounted on the fire wall so you don't have to tear out the entire goddam dash to change. What a novel concept. I so miss being able to work on the older stuff easily.

For contrast - here's a pic of Weebz's Audi - he's changing the AC condenser

Oh I know, such an easy layout to work on. Finding time is the only hard part.

Such a breathe of fresh are from working on my Cadillac which has taken the backseat. Nothing is easy to get to in there.

Looks a lot like my S4. I had to do the same thing to change the belt.

Haven’t posted here in a long time. I picked up a 1978 J-10 earlier this week that I’m pretty excited to rebuild. This beaut is a one owner, 93k miles, with 360 and 4sp manual. The original owner did a flatbed conversion on it in the 80’s, which I’m actually a fan of and love the wood.

She is needing some love, mostly in being cleaned up and everything gone through. Especially the engine, which does still run and drive, but is quite literally crying for help.

Looking for any input as to what to look for or what to do to her. [emoji4] Also will be keeping up to date on my Instagram also if you want to follow along @Howaboutno

List of things already on order.
-New windshield and gasket
-All door and window weather stripping
-All engine/transmission/transfer care gaskets and seals
-All new fluids
-Fuel filter assembly
-Hood bumpers
-Engine/trans mounts
-Metal protector and cleaning products [emoji28]
-Diff fluid/gaskets
-Synthetic line for the Warn 8274
-Warn fairlead and windshield banner
-LED headlights/tail lights/auxiliary lights

Making a little progress. Still waiting for the majority of parts to come in. And need more hours added to the day.

I have yet to figure out why Audi made their design to include that “service mode”. Royal pain in the ass.
