Daily Update
Ran to Part Source at lunch and picked up some parts..
4x Brake rotors
1x Front Brake Pads
1x Rear Brake Pads
1x Set of new plug wires.
$750 over the original budget already 🙂 Let the games begin.
I called the dealership, the rubber grommet only comes with the whole e-brake cable for $170 (cheaper then the $250 for the brake assembly). He did give me a lead on a few other places to call.
Rubber parts that i need replaced are:
1x front brake piston boot (Complete rebuild kit purchased from dealership for $31.16, I bought 4 sets, 2 front, 2 rear)
1x Lower A arm ball joint boot (Will have to find from "Energy Suspension")
1x Tie Rod End boot (rear) (Will have to find from "Energy Suspension")
1x knuckle ball joint boot (Will have to find from "Energy Suspension")
2x Emergency Brake Cable Lever Rubber Cover (cant find anywhere for less then $170/side)
Day 2 of suspension cleaning. I would post more pictures but they would just be of me, sitting alone, scrubbing for hours on end. Kids lost interest in cleaning pretty early on.
I think i have found a local source for the "Emergency Brake Cable Lever Rubber Cover". Someone is calling me back tomorrow.
I have 2 complete corners clean, and another one started. With any luck i should be able to finish cleaning the suspension and move on to cleaning the brakes and rebuilding them by Wed. Brake paint on Thursday.
Then I can work on cleaning the engine until the parts i ordered come in for the suspension.
kit comes in 5 weeks or so and i need to have a few things done before it gets here:
1) brakes cleaned, rebuilt and painted (two tone black and red)
2) suspension rebuilt with new boots/grease (hit it with a few coats of clear coat before assembly)
3) Rust removed from wheel bearing assemblies (picked up chemicals for this). Then paint them black.
4) Rust removed from all the bolts, paint the bolts black. (might not stay but worth a shot)
Engine
5) Clean the engine
6) build the wiring harness (extend what needs to be, remove what i don't need)
7) Paint the engine valve covers and intake (like the picture i posted before)
8) remove the rust from the parking brake assembly.
