Just gonna start a new thread here for the pulsar with upgrades, fixes, and general progress instead of starting a new thread each time.
A quick summary of things I did previously so far:
- Detail and clean most of the interior (it was super crusty an dirty)
- Scrub mineral deposit and water spots off all the windows with steel wool
- Polish all of the paint to restore that deep shine
- Mostly complete front suspension overhaul including all new bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, and driver side CV axle
- All new brakes, new calipers, rotors, pads in front -- and drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, and hardware for the rear
- Black plastic trim restore on the bumpers
- New headlights (refer to previous thread)
Today I replaced the alternator. It was overall easy but kind of a bitch to reach since there was no good way to access it, I had to jack 'er up and go from the bottom
Anyway here's the before and after:
