Sunday's work consisted of stripping the shit out of the coupe. I'd like to say that jake is a lucky guy, for all the shit that i found in that thing that was loose that could have caused death, i'm amazed that he's alive! We worked on this thing pretty much all day, we got all the interior out, the dash & all the wiring, including the main harness. Pulled the e-brake assembly, pulled shiftlinkage & motor, headlights bumper, fenders, ect. Pulled power mirriors & door harness's. There not really much left to this thing anymore!
The main harness, yes, i actually know where all those plugs go!
Misc parts.
Yankin the motor
Empty coupe engine bay
more to come. not sure how much time i'll have this week to work on this thing but more updates will come as i get the work done.
monday night update:
tonight i pulled the heater core, blower motor & duct work so that i could get to the firewall and pull the remainder of the main harness.
once all that was done, i installed the main harness from the coupe:
after i pulled all the wires through the firewall and ran everything where it had to go, i installed the dash.
durring tonights's adventures i noticed something that i'd classify as EXTREAMLY STUPID! IDK why the hell someone would do this but they used a hole saw to drill out the spots where the seats are supposed to mount to.. Now i'm gonna have to fix that shit! Dammit!
Also noticed that someone cut the damn bracket from the cradle that is supposed to hold the passenger side of the stearing rack.. now your thinkin ohh well he has the donor car.. just change the cradle.. hell no!! theres now way i'm puttin that much time into that when i know one of those bolts is gonna give me the finger! I'm probably just gonna fab my own bracket & box it in. I'm sure i'll post pix when i get to this!
There are always un-forseen issues that will arrise when working with cars.. it's just the way it goes!
alright.. all up to speed now. Started Saturday we are now on monday.. lets see how long it take to get this thing all done.
