I dont even want to try to list all the utter stupidities i've had to remedy since I purchaced this car two years ago....well maybe a couple high lights...
brake pedal two inches further to the fire wall than clutch.....after adjusting to correct height ..brake actuator rod falls out .. have to fabricate correct shaft.
single canister for front and rear brakes as well as clutch...guess what happens if you lose your clutch slave cylinder?.......replace with three girling cans from FL.
discover low riser manifold on mid rise engine..and enough pooled fuel to blow the place up....replace with the correct mid riser.
welded shifter to classic original linkage ......
but today was the capper.....I discovered after noticing some unusual wear on my inbord half shaft u-joints......that my lower control arms were installed upside down and were makiing contact with the u-joint on hard compression
I guess I'm venting a little but if you bought your car from a home builder......... CHECK IT OUT your life might depend on it!!!
and if you dont know your way around a car pretty darn well, do yourself and the person you might kill a favour and have one of the many professionals do it for you ....these cars are plenty dangerous enough even when built right.
other than that I love this car
