1980 Cutlass project from Finland

Oh, okay cool thanks 🙂

Forgot to put some photos with new wheel caps 🙂 Also changed the tank sending unit.

Shitty photos, but you guys get the idea 🙂

Changed the lower bearing of the steering shaft. The car is getting better and better at cornering 😉

Ordered Hedman headers for Cutlass.

I just got the bearing kit from kirbans, gets rid of the plastic" bearing",

Actually mines from Jeep, so there is a real bearing inside that white "bearing". It fits right in, and here in Finland you can't buy anywhere that original part that GM used. Doesnt effect anything because as I said those Jeep steering bearings are easy to find 🙂

Modified trans crossmember today, for the double exhaust. Couple of pics:

No I can lift the exhaust nearly 2 inches. Im going to modify it when I get those headers 🙂 My current headers go superlow, and leak everywhere, theyre pretty discusting 😀

How is the transmission crossmember attached to the frame of the car? I have those two rubber bushings and then bolts tightening it up, but my friend said that theyre shouldn't be those bushings at all?

The rubber pads, or bushings on the X-member, look like something that was added on. I know mine didn't have them, and some cars did, but they were a thin piece of rubber between the frame and X-member.

I left those rubber pads away for now.

I think modifiaing that crossmember is going to make hell of a difference when I get those headers in place 8)

What you guys think, should those fit to Cutlass? I have Eibach 1" drop springs in rear, but they dropped more than 2" and the rear end is really unbalanced, drive side is almost inch lower than passenger side. I'm planning but those Eibachs back on with those spring helpers.
