Working in a warm shop with room to spare is weird. Also not rushing because its not your DD. Yep, was right this is a square tooth on a round hole. Got a proper timing belt put on today, almost done. Also decided to drop in a no-ac power steering pump since I had one around and I removed...

The 242 has been getting in the way and I finally found some time to build a dolly for it. I need the shop room to work on “working” vehicles. The square tubing was free so I it designed around that. Got some 1.75” DOM tubing to slot into the bumper mounts. Then the bumper bolts hold it in. So...

No noise, it seems fine, but there is wiggle room between the teeth. Haven't been around a running B230 in a long time, but the car felt as I remember they do. Don't know if it has skipped any teeth. I did rev the hell out of it too when I first got it running again. Just going to put a proper...

I wonder how many of them are out there like that. :lol:

Its a 93 so I knew it was round already, was just looking to see the state of the timing belt lol

...on your new(to you) car. I posted this in my project thread but thought it would be a good idea to post here. Whoever did this is an idiot. Thats all. Off to order a new timing belt! And yes, I've been driving it around, but not now that I've seen this.

Yikes! I'm glad I checked this, the PO was an idiot! Damnit I just ordered some more parts too...

My friend sold me some hydras, so I slapped the winters on it! Had these center caps sitting around for some reason, and they fit! He didn't have the original caps. Fuel filler leaked when I put gas in it today... not sure why. Not leaking when driving, so I guess maybe the seal didn't...

Relying solely on a auto 240s brakes in snow is a terrifying thought. I live in southern Ontario Canada and grew up driving these cars through heavy snow. Auto to me just feels like there is no control when things go wrong.

Those steelies are awesome, where did you get them? NOS?

Found some basically new used winters for an amazing deal. My friends got some hydras I'm going to run. Yes, I'm going to drive it in the winter. Don't want to with the automatic trans though.

Welp, found another problem. How tf did those rear brake lines get crushed? Anyway onto the gas stuff. The gas was actually free flowing through the pump so I just collected the remaining fuel I can reuse. The weld nut on the bracket spun free. hilariously the upper bolt was finger...

This is an awesome build. Love the OLED look, I've got a bunch of those ones sitting in a drawer with some similar ideas for them.
