Hi guys, last winter, I added some gauges to my Satellite (318). One was a Water temp sensor that I screwed in the waterpump housing where this "By-Pass Valve" was screwed in: When I evaluated all the loose hoses in the engine compartment, I noticed that one of the hoses was attached to the...

Hi folks, I wanted to replace the rear speakers on my 73 Satellite. While measuring the recesses for the actual speakers, I noticed that they are different. The right one seems to accept a 6x9" speaker, the left one is smaller (about 5x7"). Also the mounting holes seem different. Anyone knows...

Hi folks, I'm currently restoring my instrument cluster of my 73 Satellite. Electrically I'm almost done but I wanted to refresh the plastic part aswell. I though about sanding / scuffing the paint down, apply new primer and black matte paint. The trim could be done with a chrome marker...

Hello community, I recently ripped out that old, rotten football-shaped speaker from the center dash console. I replaced that with a self-made bracket and 2 x 3,5" speakers from Alpine. In addition to that, I added a small bluetooth-capable amp under-dash with 1 volume knob for controls (one...

Hiya guys, last year I swapped my old and worn leaf springs for new ones. Unfortunately, the rear of the car is still very low (like it's overloaded). I thought about swapping the leaf springs again for a pair of 1" or 2" overstock springs (from Espo). Does anyone of you have pics of said...

Hi folks, I recently finished re-assembling my front suspension after a total overhaul. I replaced all bushings, bearings, tie rods and ball joints. Along with that, I sandblasted and powder coated all parts. After installing everything, I noticed that the frontend of the Satellite sits really...

Hi folks, I'm currently rebuilding my frontend / suspension. Whilst I'm at it, I'm also rebuilding the brakes. When disassembling, I didn't have retaining springs for the outer brake pads on it. They were "fixed" to the caliper with a dab of RTV (I think). When we did the same rebuild on out...

Hi folks, I'm midst rebuilding my front suspension. I bought a rebuild kit and was wondering if those upper bumpers are even needed as I didn't see any while disassmbling the suspension. If yes, where are they located? Pic is for reference: Appreciate any help!

Hi folks, as part of a refreshing treatment, I want to remove the dash cluster of my 73 Satellite. As I found out, it seems that I need to remove / drop the steering coloumn in order to get the cluster out. Can someone confirm this and / or give helpful advice if there's something special I need...

Hi folks, 2 friends and me want to get a hand on my 1973 Satellite to renew the wiring harness and rebuild some interior parts. First thing to do would be to remove the dash cluster. Does anyone have a walkthrough or tips on how to remove the entire dash cluster? Does the windshield need to get...

Hi folks, over the upcoming winter, I want to restore the optics and electrical components of my 73 Satellite Gauge Cluster. Together with a friend, we already tried to remove the gauge cluster but we were only able to pull it about 5-6 cm before the steering coloumn got in the way. Is it...

Hi guys, after reading this forum quietly for some time now, I also have a question. As I'm missing some bodyplugs I now need to replace these. I just ordered a bodyplug kit. Is there any documentation where all these bodyplugs are located? Thanks in advance! Cheers
