on the second attempt I got the balls in place, it spins well with the power of my fingers.
the truth will come out when I get the car started.
paint on and in storage to wait.

Crossing my fingers that it's keyed correctly, not that it's off by 90° or something like that.

I made the marks before disassembling, it should have been assembled the same way.

paint the brake calipers and the repair kit, at the same time I painted the steering gear. and a few other parts in the same aluminum color.
brake pads will be power stop ceramic and slotted and drilled discs.

It looks like you've got a 10SI alternator installed on your engine. Have you considered upgrading to a 12SI? It's an easy direct bolt-on upgrade with no changes to the brackets or wiring.

Everything looks great ! Where will you be mounting the regulator?

I have used 63 amps chargers without problems, if you mean the adequacy of the current output?

I haven't decided that place yet, maybe it won't be clear until the engine is in place.

I ordered led headlights last year. today I blew the mounting buckets of the lights and fitted new lights to them. fit directly without any modifications. these also have daylight and turn lights. the purpose is to cover the place of the original turn lights.

passenger side of the corner has sometimes taken a hit. holes are from the old repair. I blew both corner pieces on both sides and the broken one has to be repaired. Those are some casting material, so Mig welding cannot be successful.
