Well, we'll see. The entire engine loom has been redone

Interior wiring loom removed. And I'm scared shitless just looking at it!

Take a big piec of paper (A3) and write everything down, idealy with a rough drawing where things should go. that way you can go step by step and it's less intimidating. at least that worked for me on my S13 back in the days.

Fair bit of progress made on the car today.

In the hunt for rust we removed both front wings, both doors, bumpers, side skirts and the rear lights.
Rust has formed in a few places. But considering it has Sat for so long I consider myself lucky this is all there is.

Also removed the last of the wiring.


Rust.


Not rust but my massive fart cannon!

[mad.matt]

Not too bad for rust then Good to see none on the front chassis legs.
I'll have to come up at some point over the Christmas break and say hi

[The Big Yin]

Sounds good Matt.
Send me a message, and we can sort something out.

Engine is out!
Welding is being started on boxing day.


Clean the engine bay up. And get it all properly painted. Thinking Gray maybe.
