Okay,
I told the wife that since we are going to move out of the country I want to get all of the mechanicals sorted out on the car before we do. I have a complete front end off of an '89 SC that needs to be rebuilt. I'm gonna have Eric Shea handle the calipers but can you guys give me a list of everything I'm gonna need to make it like new? Thank you very much... |

You're moving out of the country? Where? INS finally caught up with you? I can hook you up with a immigration lawyer. Good luck. Will you be taking the family with you? We'll miss you.
Cheers, Elliot |

Yep, moving to Istanbul. The wife says she has given 15 years here so now it's my turn. Not too bad. Retiring at 47. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |

I spent 4 days in Istanbul several years ago. While sightseeing I ate gyros for lunch from sidewalk vendors everyday. Never did get sick. Don't know how.

I don't know. Andy is digging through some old emails he had from a guy there that was involved with them. (You are digging right Andy?) |

Okay, this is how dumb I am. Is Turkey part of the European Union? I'm wondering if there are any auto emission or safety regulations that you may have to deal with. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

The move sounds exciting, that is an interesting part of the world.
How is your Turkish, Allan? |

Will the steel lines between the caliper and the flex line work with A calipers or is the fitting at the caliper a different size?

Turkey isn't part of the EU yet. They have been trying for the last 10 years but politics always seem to get in the way. |

It will definitely be interesting. I lived there for a few years back in the late 80's early 90's. Turkish is very rusty. |

This front end I have needs to be cleaned up and painted.
Do I need to use any special precautions when I get it blasted? Plug or block off anything? What about the torsion bars and the area they live in? I am assuming I should shield the axles... |
