The front shocks arrived. These are GAZ adjustable type. First shot is the back of the right shock and the next is the front of the left.
Typical of the stuff that I recieve from the parts houses, the fanbelt is too long. Ordered specifically for an early XK120, it is an inch too long. This one is a 39-3/4" belt and as you can see in the last shot, it is way loose even when at full out on the adjustment.
Hi Gerry -
ReplyDeleteSo are you going to stick with the steel wheels? Seeing the inside of one from the first strut picture surprised / made me wonder what you are planning. Also, what color are you going to have the finish car sprayed?
Hi Zach,
ReplyDeleteI am going to stick with the steel wheels and spats. Also,(and this changes weekly) I am thinking that I will paint the car silver with a red interior and black top. Or, dark blue with brown interior and gunmetal top. I am currently having internet connection problems, so I have not been able to post recently. Sorry for the delay.
No worries. Looks like pictures are offline. Though I'm in the minority, and it isn't my car to paint, I'd say go with one of the less common original colors, though the pickings were a bit slimmer for a '50 versus any post '52 machine...
