I think this picture says it all. Bugsy IV had new brakes, wheel cylinders, new Master cylinder installed when I purchased and in fact Master had never seen fluid before. I did not bother to check rear axle seals but guessing sitting for a long period of time, likely on jack stands without wheels on, did in the rear axle seals. There was a big glop of dried goop on the axle seal that was not concentric even. Anyway, Axle had E-Brake Rods and Brake lines removed on Sunday, three applications of Degreasing Foam and pressure washed. Now to get the wheel bearings out as Subaru Sealed Bearings are going in. Paint Gloss Black to be applied over the next few days. 1/4 Elliptics are in paint. They've been sanded and all new nuts and bolts. Gloss black now, one side will be sprayed with some slippery paint to avoid squeaking. Tube shocks gone replaced by Lever Arms from Peter C. All new bushings, new radius arm. Spring pockets pressure washed to get rid of mud and debris in there and I could see the original Nevada Beige Paint underneath all of the dirt in there. This can never saw salt but it sure saw mud as Spring Pockets were totally full of hard caked on mud. It's all going to be pretty underneath when I'm done.
I will be changing this over to a Creative Spridgets Rear Disc Kit in the future but in the meantime it's Spring Time I need to get out and drive. New 1,326 Engine and 5 speed will targeting August Install. Paint in OEW over the Winter along with new Red Interior. In the meantime my 948 with Cam, HS-2's and Cooper- S head and headers will get Bugsy moving down the road again.
