Hi new urq owner posting here. I just recently acquired an 1983 urq imported from Ct Usa to Canada it requires inspection and needs body work. The clutch won't move i even broke the clutch master's rod while jerking the car in 1st, i'll be removing the tranny today and find out what's going on.
Anyways on my way there i found some supports connected to the tranny and the wastegate. I had no trouble removing the top one but the bottom one was a rough one.I have no torches.
The nuts really din't want to give at all. Anyways i was wondering has anyone run without the supports there? I'll probly be swapping the engine in a few months since it seems to vibrate a lil, could be a few reasons... So wondering if it will put too much stress on the exhaust manifold from all the movement. I ask since under it's a flexi so maybe it's to prevent mani cracking? It's been already majorly rewelded tho.
Right now im also sitting on 3 broken subframe bolts one was broken when i bought the car. I think it had a rough time since the rear bumper has twisted inward.
I also will be redoing my own body work on the car anyone one know where i can find good window rubbers 4 really cheap? I'd like to remove the glass to make a nice job.
Thanx for your help.
Btw I can't beleive how bad the wiring is on that car. Did the designer get paid by the foot * number of connections or something?
Not sure at this point if i should keep it original and just shrinkwrap the bad connections or redo the whole damn thing.
