It is yellow no more, the rebuild begins

[Paul_G]

Its been well over a year since this derelict Satellite followed me home. The paint is done. Now all the shiny and/or new parts can go back on.

The link is from a year ago when I started the dissasembly. I dont like yellow cars, and currently I have a 73 in yellow. So the 72 had to change colors. Satellite anyone?

That is a really unusual way to mount a rear sway bar.
Nice color....I love B-5!

I know, it is odd going to the rear. Putting the rear end in the car now with the cast aluminum diff cover, with the axle up to the bump stops the bar was contacting the cover. Had to make some 3/16" steel plates to shim the bar away from the axle a little. When test fitting it I had a stock cover on the Dana, lots of room. The big diff cover was also touching the fuel tank. flange. I rolled the lip on the tank for clearence, I hope it dont leak.

It is actually Q5 Coral Turquoise Poly. Looks a lot like B5, just with a hint of green depending on the light.
