Three Lions Garage

I returned to TLG last weekend to finish the job I had started: rear-end removal.Once the drum brakes were pulled (a process I detailed in my last post), the only parts between me and the differential were the leaf springs. Before these are removed, jack up the rear axle so that it is barely supported; […]

It appears two months have passed since my last post, a period during which I’ve been to the garage only twice. I meant to post an update after the first visit, but it slipped my mind and I have absolutely no idea what I meant to write on. Something about disc brakes, wheel spindles, ball […]

I am now a licensed driver in the State of California, official as of last Monday. If you value your life, stay off of the roads.

Back from camp, back to school, and back to work! Right before I left for Kona I managed to pull the entire rear wiring harness (the only thing holding in the front wiring is the firewall). Packing, however, managed to rob me of a chance to blog about it. The fact that I didn’t take […]

Didn’t get too much time at TLG this weekend; I was busy driving (everybody off the roads!). Nevertheless, Dad and I were able to work a for a few hours last night. Since the next major step in our restoration is removing the interior, I started with the windshield for better access to the dash […]
