Most of the stuff in this project thread is just going to be general fixup info, I may do some mods along the way, but I don't intend this car to be a 300rwkw street machine, or an autosalon showcar.
Mechanic's Report - Problems Found
a) Both front engine mounts worn - Passenger Side mounting bracket cracked
b) Alternator not charging correctly (11.6 volt charge rate)
c) Oil Seepage from both rocker covers, timing case and Rear Main Oil Seal areas
d) L H Rear Inner CV Boot Split
e) Automatic Trans Extension Housing Seal and Speed Transducer Leaking
f) Fluid seepage from Power Steering rack
g) Brake Rotors Glazed and Hollowed - FIXED
h) Temperature Guage not working - Diagnosed - VN Fault
i) Brake Fluid Requires Flushing FIXED
j) Drivers Side Seat Mount Broken
k) Cooling System Requires Correct Mix New Radiator to Come
l) Shudder From Auto Transmission Usual Turbo700 Shudder
m) Alternator Belt Cracked Purchased New Belt, will fit with new alternator
Other Maintenance to be Carried Out
- Replace Waterpump
- Replace Radiator / Pressure Test [Depending on Thermo Conversion]
- Throttle Body Stopper Modification
- General Engine Bay Cleanup
- Transmission Flush
- Oil Change
- Replace Shocks and Springs [Original GMH items currently in car]
- Replace Rear Brake Discs
- Replace Front Swaybar Links with JustCommodores Heavy Duty items
- Purchase Oil Pressue / Oil Temp / Water Temp guages and mount in discreet location
- Fit headunit stolen from mate
- Replace Cold Air Intake (Investigate if S/C V6 from VS fits, if not, custom mandrel pipe to pod behind front bar?)
- Replace Speakers
