Vehicle description
The time has come to let my baby go.
I"ve had this car since 2007 but my knees are so bad from arthritis that I can no longer realistically work on it, let alone drive it as just pushing the clutch ends up messing my knee up.
If you want to know the whole story of everything that I have done to this car over the years then click on the Diary section of my web site http:/ www.ltlfrari.com/ and read from Feb 26th 2008 onward (ignore the stuff done to the 1988 one we had for a while!).
But a summary of it goes something like this (that I can recall anyway):
Replaced headlights with H6054 200mm Rectangular E-code Hi-Lo Conversion Headlamp Kit.” with 60/55 Hella Xenon bulbs from rallylights.com
Replaced direct wiring through switch to headlight bulbs with relays.
Moved the battery up front.
Had the steering wheel revoverd by Irrational on Pennock"s (actually I bought another one and had that recovered
Replcaed gear shift knob with a recovered one (may have been from Irrational again but I forget)
Replaced the horns with a pair of Hella sharptones.
Replaced front and rear cradle mounts with solid aluminum mounts.
Did a panel off respray of the entire car (2015) using Eastwood single stage (two part) paint.
Replaced headlight motors with Gen two system
Rebuilt the center console skeleton from sheet metal. Remade the gear shift surround and arm rest cubby hole cover.
Strengthened (fiberglassed) the headliner board and replaced the headliner.
Installed a backup camera
Installed a dash cam which is wired into the car so that it comes one when you start the car.
Completely replaced ALL the front and rear suspension bushings with new rubber.
Installed Rodney"s one inch lowering ball joints on the front and installed new shocks.
Built a set of coilover shocks for the rear (KYB shocks). These also have "helper" springs on them so that the spring doees not go off center if you jack the car up and the suspension droops.
New ball joints on the tie rod ends.
New brake pads and probably new calipers but not wure which, been a while! Braided brake lines on the rear. Looks like I just installed new rubber ones up front.
S10 Big brake booster mod.
I have installed a big battery cutout switch up front to isolate the battery when barked for any length of time.
Antenna hidden under fender and hole filed.
I am sure there is other stuff but that"s the bulk of it.
There"s a little surface rust on the chassis but nothing bad
The bad:
AC does not work (of course). I have replaced pretty much everything, new condenser, accumulator, compressor, orifice tube and flush it. There"s a leak somewhere but I have not been able to find it.
There area couple of small dings in the paint. The one on the driver"s door is garage rash. There"s a mark on the hood where there was a gought in it that I thought I had filled before painting but once painted, it was apparent my fill work was not a good a job as it could have been (my first time painting a car!) It"s not major but it is there. Also a small mark near the sun roof.
To the best of my knowledge the sun roof is as sealed, at least as good as I can get it. Do not open the sun roof! I usally park the car with a plastic sheet over it and a car cover to hold everything in place. It"s more a case of over cautiousness than anything else
The exhaust smells a bit. I replaced the car a few years back after it got clogged up and choked the car to death one day. However, while it smells a but, the car does in fact run fine.
The passenger side headlight occasionally sticks when coming up and does not open but a quick turn of the knob and it"s fine.
