Draggin' ass.
It took forever to rewire the engine. I relocated the ignition controller wire grommet, and it meant that about 2o wires had to be cut, lengthened, and soldered back together. The engine compartment is finally done. Save for some mega-piddly ass details, it's full of oil and water, and I should be able to start it next week sometime.
The Brakes have been done for a week, and I put the wheels on the car and put it up on blocks so I could get the front end close to aligned ( check out how far inboard the CC plates had to go to get the tires perpendicular to the pavement)
I really like the wheels. They have a hub that sticks out proud of the wheel lip. I guess it's because these wheels are actually intended NOT to be so backspaced, but that is no problem for me I think they are very cool. When you sight down the side of the car, there are these two little "bumps" that stick out from the center of the wheel. Waay different from the average wheel you see on a Fox.
Whats left?........ wiring, wiring, wiring.
Remember, when I said that this car was a Katrina flood car? remember when I said that all of the factory wrap, bundling the internal wire harness had disentegrated because of that?
I wasn't lying...
UGGGH
The wires on top of the heater are the new extended ones that have yet to be tied back in.
I feel like you're looking at my dirty undies
Someday, I'm gonna rip the entire mess out and redo the thing w/ an aftermarket wiring harness. In the meantime, I'll put the frame back up wire tie the piss out of it, and forget whats under the dash until then.
I should be able to back it out next weekend, and finish up what's left. It's going in our local "World of Wheels" auto show the second week end of Feb. I'll take some real pictures of the finished product out in the sunlight.
