1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That'll look so good on your s-runner, fuggin sweet man, but because I'm a cheap mofo I'm partial now to those tan wheels Speedy showed, I didn't even know they existed! Those tan steelies would look sick on my red cruiser too(red like speedy's)

 

I'm trading him my built 80 series Cruiser for it

 

I received a small percentage, and mid-level category for VA healthcare due to my purple heart.

After that, I had an issue with the IL VA office trying to get my shit together.

Fast forward 8 years later, I asked some questions in the military section of the forum and got some solid advice; got a higher percentage and received category 1 for healthcare.

Dad taught me to just "suck it up" for many years and I did; then when he retired he told me the opposite and pushed me to get my benefits which I put off for nearly a decade.

 

Oh I missed it. That's part of the coolness too I guess

 

He's not in your face about it which is super cool.

 

Camelback parts promo code, who's got it?

 

You guys are way too cool for any of that shit

I just hate when other vets do it; that's when I call them out.

 

@Speedytech7 i applied the ATF per your suggestion on the blasted frame to take the flash rust off but i am not sure it worked. there is still an orangish color!
do I just let the fluid sit awhile or hose it off

 

No. Why would I need that?

 

does not exist as far as i know anymore!
they slashed their prices to compensate for no free shipping as well last i heard

 

I wipe with coffee filters, they pick up the rust particles well and carry them away

 

I thought it was pretty funny they handed me this snap ring, which is 6” wide.

 

that would be the wheel bearing snap ring

 

yes, there are a wide range of dissimilarities across the board
i am starting at the top down and cannot seem to get too far
@Tour991 is a close similarity but then again i live in a whole another world than him i think!

How much disassembly are you doing now?

Was just thinking brakes, snap ring, and reassembly of your manual hub.

 

i think i recently became hip to that user
its so unfortunate, i think they may have some really good answers to my many queries
or at least points for me to ponder

 

The perfect way to word it, you have a way with words man

 

Thanks haha.

I had a question for you, since you've probably dealt with it. My rear slider seals are leaking a bit during wet weather. Just getting the trunk floor a bit moist. Do you know of a good fix?

 

@BartMaster1234 ordered all those items on your spreadsheet sans transmission filter, upper ball joints, cotter pins, or rear main seal.

Get the little odds and ends out of the way for now. Come next year, I'll be bringing you a diff to see if we can sand blast it.
