It's funny how these projects just snowball from one part to the next...
I collected everything i needed to get started on 'bagging this beast, and realized I better address the low hanging exhaust.
So I ordered a set of Sanderson BBC Shorties... Quality pieces. I couldn't afford the ceramic, so I just sprayed and baked with some header paint.
I then removed the inner fenders so I could start the suspension work, and noticed how truely nasty the whole engine and compartment looked. So I started removing and cleaning old parts. Which lead to a new water pump, 110amp alternator, Mickey Thompson finned valve covers, lots of elbow grease, some paint, blah blah blah... Not all on in this shot, but looking good
Needless to say, I haven't really made much progress on the suspension. But I can say I very happy with the way the old 8 Lugger is cleaning up!
