Just another B234FT Conversion..

Yeah.. right now I am again in a Situation where i need to find out what to do.

That 5 day trial really kicked me going back to business and finish this thing, but the Problem is heres a bit rust and theres a bit "maintainance jam" ^^next to all the blingbling parts. This is going to be fixed, but.. in the End i have an engine which doesnt run good with the software i have and I really dont want to bother again with that crappy LH.. i sunk so much money in this pile and i dont want to spend any cent on going further with LH.. Also it wont pass the dyno test which is required for getting t?v again. when it only would need to pass emissions there were zeoro problems at all.. but that dyno where the t?v guys need to say, yep: thats reasonable is a big problem when it gets lean so much ;)

I totally often wrote here: "this winter im going MS2, MS3, MS3x then VEMS".. I now got a pretty good shot at an "old" blue LinkG4 Storm.. do it? Seems like the engine must get out again to fix some rust problems in the bay.. on that turn i could open the engine again and look at all the things I#ve done to it.. years ago ;) and install the yoshifab DSM CAS i have laying around for going full seq. ?? Darn...

I even bought a cheap 250cc quad this spring, only because i doesnt want to sit under my car again when all my garage buddies having fun with their toys in summer :D
 
opened the diff.. now the axle overhaul starts together with subframe strenghthening and fabbing adj torque arms out of stainless..

also i will need to do some derusting and preventure when the axle is out.
 
got the axle out.. ordered some brantho korrux antrazit glimmer for all the susoension parts.. subframe is going to be welded and the axle will get a rebuild of all parts..

made no pics..

somebody reinforced their trailingarms? would be interested in some pics ;)
 
So.. finally found my digicam :)

Bought some Brantho Korrux 3in1 antirust, much better than Hammerite, dissassembled the whole axle, derusted all parts with a brushplate on my anglegrinde, found some rust under my Hausser skirts, lined up all axlebearings for everyones education, dezinced the weldingspots on my subframe, welded it and so on.. :)

Good to see you're working on this thing again. Speaking of rust, check the sealant stuff that seals the panel gap between the firewall and the inner fenders in the engine bay. That dries out with time and then rain water gets between the frame rails and the floor pan, which will start to rust there. Mine had that too. Mine already had holes in the floor. Water seeps between the spotwelded panels.
