car mechanic simulator

Oh well, all's well that ends well.

And there it is! One ex-Bolivian Tempest Magnum (did they even sell in Bolivia?), cost $60000 to buy and import, hence why I've had to get rid of the Spectre and GT20. Not sure it can quite cover those costs.

That's more like it. Now just a slight refresh on the paint front..

Mechanically, it's in a better condition than it's ever been. But, as with the GT20, I feel the DMV would mind if I drove it like this.

All that's left to do now is put the tyres on.

The rest of the exhaust goes on. Shiny.

On goes the air filter. Went for a two carb option rather than the standard single carb. Should give more power.

..which were done after the new spark plugs and exhaust manifolds were installed.

Radiator bits back in, as is a new ignition, missing only the wires..

Timing is now its thing.

Engine heads and all the fun that comes with is now done.

Pistons going in.

Gearbox and driveline. The latter is particularly important, given that this is rear-wheel drive. Although I've heard of some nutjobs who have converted some Magnums to 4WD. Nutjobs.

..and a new performance clutch.

..new crank shaft..

New engine block..

..and now the rear as well! This manipulating with time is quite amazing, isn't it?

..as is now the entire front running gear setup..

The pre-requisites are in place..

New front crossmember. Has its functions.
