I took it gack and gotva new bearing for the old original steel pulley I had on the engine which runs true .tommorow I will change it over in the automatic shop next door both new ones are out of round by 3 mm .I done some more work to the alternator bulled the bearings of the back and front and replaced them .easyvas when you have the right tools lolI hit the bearing in with that old bearing casethen I painted it as I forgot the paint at home $25 for both bearings and only my time .the brushes were $10 so $35 for to freshen up a alternator not bad plus the paint . The guy that done the ceramic coating also sandblasted my engine mounts and the air con bracket after that he sat them in his polishing machine fir 15 minutes just to make them look a bit better than only blasted .would have to be in there for 2 hours for them to be shiney ,he ran out of time and handed them to me like this .not bad at all they looked like this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know most if you out there think I am nuts or crazy to do what I do .I could have given false reply to stuff like prices or results on progress so I do not look like a fool but I rather tell how it realy goes . Not many people on here tell exactly price wise or problems that they faced . So please understand I am the way I am no one can change me, I am fussy and I am slow at getting stuff done but just put up with it and not bag me out for over doing thinks .I know I change my mind sometimes on the build but that is me as I try for the best out come beforeafter .would love that machine but its $22000 worth bugger .

Well after kell took the ss for a test drive she said that it is a very nice car .the sales man gave here the price of what they could do it for which we both thought would have been a great price .kell said lets decide what we should do and decide in a couple of days .when we got home kell said look we do not need a new car lets wait and get the kingswood all up and running for her son . I said its up to her what she would like to do ,ether way I will be happy .we both desided lets get the kingswood the going ,as it would help her son a lot . He has been suffering depression for some time now and we hope that getting the car finished for him might get him in a happy mood and help his depression . His work is getting him down a lot as he only makes enough to live but not to save money . He does long hours and works weekends . this will also strengthen our relationships with here son as his father does not treat him the best ,such a shame as he is a good kid .he always wanted a set of stock wheels for his car so these were advertise on face book so we grabbed them for him . $525 for the lot thought that was a good price for them .that's the start of the home run of the kingswood . lol still got to set up the nos . Ps he loved his new wheels we still will get a new ss later this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
