New project: 1976 Cosmo RX-5

[djmtsu]

Update:
Nothing really, although I did pick up another Cosmo, just waiting for it to be brought down here to TN.

Started tearing it apart!



Then found some nasty ass rust in a bad spot.



This is where the front engine crossmember bolts to the frame rails. A leaky battery has really fucked it up. Notice that nasty looking nut/bolt there? That is a welded nut that has broken free and it seized. Oh, this also doubles as the front sway bar mount.

Now, this is what it is supposed to look like (picture of the other Cosmo). Much better!!!



Now, the problem is, I have no idea when the other Cosmo is going to make it down here. It is all based on when my step-dad buys a new truck. Lol.

But there is some light at the end of the tunnel. I have found and test fitted all the trim and such, all there. Also I found the glovebox knob, which was a major source of irritation for me.



Other than that, I have replaced the wheel seals and cleaned up the rear diff, including the rear brakes. More to come....
