sebastienbuick Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hello everyone, here are some pictures of the work.so I continue with the rest of the front train.some pieces were already anti-gravel and other no, so much to do I have to iron.before: after : I saw that there was the side pulling driver who was twisted (probably an old accident).so I took the tie to a garage equipped with a press to straighten the tie rod. Normally I'll get it back on Saturday.I also controlled the front of the frame to see if he had moved, not nothing has moved, everything is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC-car-guy Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Don't forget to ground your tank since you painted where the straps go, otherwise your sending unit won't work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Windsofchng was saying that the fuel tank needs to be grounded for the fuel gauge to work properly. Now that the tank is painted you should consider adding a dedicated ground wire between the tank and the chassis. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
