Europa TCST

[BDA]

Your valve spring compressor is pretty clever and economical of you! 

[Bryan Boyle]

Don't let that crankshaft fall over and hit the floor !!   

Or let the con rods bang against the piston skirts.  Wrap in soft cloth.  Ask me how I know...

The never ending cleaning of parts continues......

[TurboFource]

This week, removed stuck piston rings and cleaned ring grooves (ordered rings from QED), more parts cleaning, It was nice out so I took advantage and sanded and painted my rear Koni's so I can put
them together this week.

[TurboFource]

Made my own stickers for the rear Koni's, just printed the logo on regular printer paper, sprayed with
clear rattle can paint on both sides, let dry, cut out and glued on with super glue, sprayed some clear over them....not mounted in the stock location but you wouldn't be able to see them through the nylon material I used to prevent springs from wearing through shock body (Thanks PFreen for the idea!).

Assembled rear Koni's...ready to install....

[BDA]

Nice work, Turbo! The Koni "stickers" are a nice touch! 

[TurboFource]

Notice in my mail box today that I have an International package to pick up…..
Should be my piston rings from QED I think I now have all the parts
I need for Twin Cam reassembly……still cleaning and painting stuff though…

TCST was bought and on the road on this day in 1974

Easy day for me to remember…..it’s also the Ford Mustang’s bday

  TCST!!

Since my blood probably runs Ford blue, I feel compelled to remove
all traces of Chevy orange from my motor which is quite the messy task.....

[BDA]

I would say there is no place for Chevy anything on a Europa!

Going to install manual window winders, BDA? 

[BDA]

You got me, Gavin! 

I also forgot about my Delco alternator!

All of the blocks (but you probably know this...) were painted Ford grey. 

When I get my lump to that stage....anyway, something to think about...  That and a nice red VCG instead of the black. 

Oh, the list just keeps getting longer.
