Kudos!

holy wow. Find of the year right here! Well done!!!

Having a hard time sleeping lately?………because you stole that. ;)

Thanks guys, I still can't believe the deal I got this car for.

And now, to address the clutch, which I knew was gone, and the reason the seller sold the car so cheep.

When I first put the car on the lift, I removed the rubber shift fork boot and pulled out a bunch of clutch threads/material, thinking that the rear main seal had been leaking and soaked the clutch disc, which then made the clutch disc come apart.



Yup, just what was expected. There was no clutch material left. What a freaking mess!





And now for the new parts!







And lots of clean up/degreaser/brake fluid







New-ish (clean) flywheel because the old one was scored badly.



And mounted up.



And, aligned.



And greased.





And reassembled... super easy, as all the bolts HAD NO RUST!





And driven! She drives again!

[etikoner]

Wow. Super awesome score man!

I should go on some craigslist hunts to find deals like this. haha

[Slipstreem]

How's the drive? Engine feeling pretty good?

[WASABI]

Wow. Super awesome score man!

Thanks!

How's the drive? Engine feeling pretty good?

She starts right, and purrs like a kitten. I didn't get to really drive/drive her yet, cause it's not registered.



Soon, soon.

I wish I could find a deal like this!! So jealous!

[WASABI]

More cleaning and more maintenance.





I'm amazed at how clean the inner fender are. These had 2lbs of dirt and leaves in there.



And this... SOLID RUST FREE ROCKERS!!!



Then there was a crudely wired kill switch removal.



And the new (unbroken) rear finish panel.

And then, I introduced WASABI to SHINTO...

How does it feel to steal a car?

Great find man! That's what I keep hoping to get.

[This is a Lamp]

Great find! If only it was cheap enough to find one here in Asia...

[phk]

Don't rake much…?

[Corifto]

Let me get those shorty mudflaps and I won't harass you for getting such a steal.

It was a rare find, I agree. Good luck with your search.

Thanks... perhaps 3 BRGs would be better still? Not yet!

What a fantastic pick up!!!

I know! I still can't believe I only paid $500.00 for it.
