So for this next part we moved things outside. Here's the tank again.There was a little bit of gas in it, but not much. Popped the drain and got out what we could. It was pretty yellow. I forgot to take pics of the inside, but it wasn't too...

I agree. I've seen a lot worse. I have stored in my attic I should probably just throw out it's so bad.Appreciate it. We're trying.

Monday night was a big night for us as we moved onto a new section of the car. With a large portion of the engine bay where we want to be, it was time to turn our attention to the gas tank. This is largely an unknown. We don't really know how...

Last week we did a quick rebuild of the wiper motor. I've found from restoring cars before that the grease inside these things is almost always dried out and crusty.We open it up. Yep, crusty dry grease inside.Scrapped out what we could...

Here's the additional promised pictures of the front rad plate piece as promised.Here's the lower mount point all the way down on the lower rad support. (The bolt head is in the shadow)

I'll have to ask my son. He's the one that cleaned that up and installed it. He watches tons of details video on YouTube and has learned a number of tricks that are new to me.EDIT: He said he used Purple Power, a scrub brush, and a LOT of...

This is exactly why I still love forums, even though they are a bit old school nowdays and why I take lots of pics and post. I love the idea of people looking over your work, offering their advice and experience - and most of all catching your...

Worked on the car for about an hour with my son the other night. Got a few more things bolted back into the engine bay.Washer fluid tank.Got the charcoal canister back in.Got this random bracket back in place.Go this sheet metal plate up...

Last night spent more time cleaning up brackets, painting, and cleaning up parts.Cleaned up the charcoal canisterAnd then cleaned up the washer fluid res.Looks almost like brand new. Look at the white on that cap!

Spent some time bolting on some of these brackets we cleaned up.Brake master bracket.Fuel filter bracketHorn BracketOverhead shot.

Brake masters I always bleed in the vice ahead of time. Clutch masters I always mount to the firewall and hook up to the pedal and then bleed the cylinder itself before hooking up the line. It works nicely because someone can sit in the car and...

Brackets ... Mitsu loves brackets. Tried to pull off as many brackets as possible and get them ready for refresh.I've used Evaoporust before in other restores ... I like the stuff. Strips all the junk off back down to the bare metal.We got...

Mounting up the brake master cylinder was a little bit more than plug and play. Turned out the fittings for the feed lines from the reservoir were not facing the correct directions, so we had to reuse some fittings from the old cylinder. You...

Had off on Good Friday so my son headed out to the garage for several hours and knocked out some more things.Started cleaning up the brake booster by grinding off the ruined paint by leaking brake fluid over the years.Then hit it up with some...

Well I drew this up today based on the broken one I had. Problem is I don't have the pin part on the backside, so I'm kinda guessing based on some online photos. I don't have an actual one to base measurements off of. I guess I'll try 3D...

These should probably work out for you.https://machv.com/products/1g-dsm-rear-bump-stop

We finished up the engine bay this weekend.Started down by this cross-member.And this is where we ended up...Very pleased with how this turned out ... time to start putting things back together and get an engine in this beast.

Thanks! I documented a restoration of another car on different forum and it ended up being 34 pages! ROFL Hopefully when this is done it'll be a pretty thorough guide for anyone looking to restore a VR4.

Now that we got the car pushed back inside, it's time to get to work on the actual painting.This is a brush-on gloss enamel Rustoleum paint. It takes time, but the results are worth it.Got some more drivers side, firewall and crossmembers...

Next day ... time to get some priming done.Covered the windshield before we got going.Firewall -Passenger side -More firewall -Drivers Side -Done ... including wiper cowl area and cross members.Really really pleased with how...
