Cowboys Levin
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2016 7:08 am
So after many months of trying to find a project 86 shell to make into a race car I have finally decided to make me RHD Levin the project. I bought this car in 2012 while I was stationed in Japan. When I bought the car it actually had the stock exhaust and intake. I was determined to maintain this unicorn and leave it as stock as possible for car shows. After many nights drinking in the garage with my friends I finally decided to start working on this car to prep it for its natural habitat... the corners. My biggest fear for this project is not if, but when I crash it. I will actually be heart broken but I am also in pain just watching it sit in my garage. In this thread I will just be showing my very very slow progress and asking some questions here and there to the wizards of the 86 community. I know that not much really goes on in here anymore but it would be nice for some input from those who do still visit this page.
First thing first this winter I will be draining all of the fluids and normal maintenance. I just changed the plugs, wires, cap. I am also going to be changing out my wheel bearings. I have done research and found a few stores that sell complete sets for both front and rear. I will need to do some more research on these company's because I have never heard of them and would hate to throw some cheap bearing in the car. If you have some input on a company you normally buy through great. If not that's fine too and I hope to be posting in this thread soon.
