Good evening,

Well I started the fun process of removing the dash tonight to trouble shoot the few wiring problems I have come across. Wish me luck. Lol.



Thanks,

[HUB]

Got a little bit more done this weekend. Pushed the car out of the garage so she could see sun and cleaned her.

Badass!!

Morning,

The slip yoke came in the other night. Went ahead and installed it. Put it all the way in and then pulled it out about 3/4" to measure how long of a driveshaft I will need. Plan to still stick with a 2 piece setup. Had to cut more of the tunnel out.








Thanks,

Morning,

Start working on wiring the gauges and few other things yesterday. Will finish the rest today.

Got the turn signal and high beam dash indicator lights installed.


I was able to locate a shorter temp sensor for oil... Fit like a glove.


In the process of wiring... Looks like a mess now, but it will look better when finished.


Well got the gauges in and wired up. However, looks like I have some trouble shooting. Lamps don't work on any of the gauges, blower motor/ fan doesn't work, and turn signal doesn't work.



Thanks,

New battery came in yesterday. Fits very well. Getting closer.





little more progress this weekend.

New temp sensor installed.




Coolant hardline cleaned up and painted.




Need to work on the oil lines too.


Started working on the interior this evening.

Not much to report. Been working on brake lines.

The dash was dropped off at a coworkers place to make the new cluster. Not done yet, but it should look really good when finished. Will order gauges in the next few weeks. Going to go with autometer gauges.







Afternoon,

Dash and cluster are finished being fabricated. Will drop it off to be powder coated.



Finished getting the dash powder coated. Ordered the gauges. Look forward to putting together.

Looking to order a GT dash pad.



The rest of the gauges came in today.



Thanks,

Well haven't done much work on the car due to me being sick. Today was the first day back in the garage. Started working on a few things.

Well it wouldn't be a good time without a cigar and beer:cheers:


Remote oil filter and cooler mounted. Will drill another hole to support the cooler on top. Will make bracket for the bottom.


Continue to work on the water lines. May go hardline to elimate all the connections.


Worked on the tunnel some more. This is probably the best I'll get it with my current skill set and tools. Will have a coworker finish the rest.


Thanks,

[HUB]

Trans is in.

[HUB]

Worked on the tunnel some more today and got the shifter in. Will do some more work tomorrow, but it will need to be welded.





Comparing part of the old tunnel and the 1800 tunnel.




Thanks,

Well the T5 transmission came in yesterday. 1352-199.






Started working on the T5 yesterday.










Well we started working on putting in the T5 yesterday and today. Will have to come up with and idea for the cross member... Will maybe steal Andrew's idea;-)





Got the new clutch in.


M46 BH powder coated and ready to go in.


The dogs came to "help" too.


















Also started playing around with the remote oil filter and cooler setup.


Thanks,

[HUB]

Got the fuel tank and sway bar in from powder coating. They turned out great and didn't have to pay a dime







Start working on getting the old gasket material in the car for the fuel tank. Was wanting to get it in this weekend, but parts got delayed from IPD... Got the sway bar in, will make a few adjustments this week. Spent most of my time cleaning with my new toy







Start working on a few things yesterday.

Got the new sender unit in.




Realized I forgot to order a body rubber seal that goes around the neck... So now I'm trying to track that down.


Parts are trickling in for the new transmission too:spin::dance:


Start working on some of the rubber seals on the car. Car doesn't really have any rust, but every rubber seal is shot.

Before:


After:


Fuel tank in. Playing around with lifter support.





Thanks,

[HUB]

Got the car on the ground to take measurements and see what sort of adjustments I'll need to make to the suspension. Still sitting higher than I wanted. Also, don't like the wheel gap.
