Few more parts on today, anyone have spare inserts that go in the bumper end caps, like the one in third picture ,thanks
The LADA door straps? How’d they work out…Today - plugs badly fouled, running very rich for a very long time.
Caps on ends of spark plugs all loose, plug wires ends loose fit in the rotor cap.
Went for test drive, fill up fuel tank.
Door straps installed. Had to order from Ukraine.
Working on sticky throttle problem. Cleaning up and tying off a lot of unused wiring, (from cat converter, evap, smog control).
More parts arrived from MWB, tunnel cover, shift rod boot, other small stuff.
Like I said, attention to detail. BTW, the late model instruments in the old dash looks like it belongs there to begin with!
Unfortunately, you can't do it without special equipment.Not to take away for the tow hook you made, but I am intrigued by the plastic pouch more. Please explain the RF welding process and some details on the right type of plastic to use for this.
The fitment is identical, the straps are not exactly the same shape, but they have the correct curve. For $5 each I'll use themThe LADA door straps? How’d they work out…
That clutch nut is not a common item (and as I said it's different from the brake ones), so it can be difficult to get. There have been a couple of online sources identified that offer it. I haven't looked lately to see the current availability. The Lada clutch system uses the same nut so you can also get them from the Lada parts supplier. They also use the same nuts on the brake lines as the X so those are available from them as well.
I have that info, but will have to dig it out. If I don't post it in a day then please remind me.Do you know what that clutch nut spec is? What threads and flare type?
When I got mine both floor panels were thoroughly bulged up a few inches each. I used my trusty Harbor Freight deadblow hammer to beat them down. I wondered the same thing - how did this guy end up running over boulders??Stripping carpet, old insulation and sound proofing, and thirty years of glue and paint from floorboards. Yuck.
And beating out dents from the boulders someone had run over. Not sure how you can put giant dents into the floor but someone did it.
Drain holes had been sealed, need to fix those.
I also had big dents in the floor of mine when I removed my carpet to clean it. I figured someone along the way used the floor as a jacking point? At least they beat back into shape fairly easy.When I got mine both floor panels were thoroughly bulged up a few inches each. I used my trusty Harbor Freight deadblow hammer to beat them down.

OK, @SuperTopo I found the info.Do you know what that clutch nut spec is? What threads and flare type?
Deadblow is good idea. I used a big rubber mallet. Also seat track is bent from someone sitting down heavily. Will try and push that up from under chassis.When I got mine both floor panels were thoroughly bulged up a few inches each. I used my trusty Harbor Freight deadblow hammer to beat them down.

I just ordered that. Yes, 12mm x 1.25. Got it two days ago. Perfect replacement. Inlinetube.com, less than $7.50 shipped. Bought it on Ebay, delivered in 2 days. Also bought the "bubble" flaring tool, $17. Same delivery time. Now just waiting for my box of Dynamat to show up before replacing the pedal and heater core boxes.Do you know what that clutch nut spec is? What threads and flare type?
