Got in some car time this afternoon.

By surprise my parts order from 944online.com showed up this morning with the last of my front swaybar parts and some other things.

So a few weeks ago while doing the first oil change I noticed the old swaybar bushings were shot and I saw there was a missing hose. After some researching I found it was the vent hose for the alternator.

The old left side inner bushing/bracket and drop link bushings still connected to the control arm.

Another shot. 

My Park Tool Campy bottom bracket bearing puller worked great for pressing in the new bushings.

The new alternator vent hose. This was completely missing. However I was not able to secure the upper hose clamp so I borrowed a dual swivel socket from a friend hopefully that will do it.

New inner bracket, bushing and hardware along with new drop link bushings.

Next up...

  • The old sealed beam head lights are horrible so I bought a Hella H4 headlight conversion kit.
  • Install front swaybar stiffeners once they are available. 
  • Replace the odometer gear that is broken.
  • While repairing the odometer gear I going to upgrade all the dash and instrument lights with new led bulbs. 
  • Finish cleaning the carpet on the passenger side.
