Tail light tints+Roll Cage sizing+intake

After finishing off the steering rack bolts with an air chisel (thanks rennlist guys), I was able to install the new machined aluminum ones. Heres what was left of the old rubber mounts...












After those were in I decided to throw the roll cage in for some measurements and put on my tinted taillights (tinted using "VHT nightshades")



Finally I put together an cold air intake so I could break the car in without worrying about rocks and squirrels getting sucked into the intake manifold. Here's a before and after.
Next up: cleaning the interior...

Steering rack bushings are the devil

Its 9:30 and I just returned from removing the stock (30 year old, hardened, caked, rubber) steering rack bushings. Let me start by saying this was supposed to be a 2 hour job max, but after you see these pictures you'll understand why it just isn't.

These are the replacement bushings. They are machined aluminum so there is no play or shuffle in the steering...










Now these are whats left of the stock bushings....
















So thats where Im leaving off for today since its pitch black now. I will probably get a nice wire brush or something to get the rest of that solidified crap out of there. All I can say for now is I really needed new bushings....

928 -> intake+interior stripping day 1

Well I just got the car back, and first on the list of projects is an intake and stripping the interior.
Until I get a hood scoop, I decided to snag a flexible intake tube from pepboys and a K&N cone filter. Surprisingly this worked pretty well but I plan on changing it after the initial 500 mile clutch/engine break in period.

As far as the interior goes I just grabbed a screwdriver, 10mm socket, some scissors, and of course a beer. About 4 hours later and a lung-full of old German carpet glue it was pretty much tubbed. I plan to do the dash and start cleaning tomorrow. Pics will be up tonight.

Edit: Here are some pics as promised
