Teusday I fitted the gearbox subframe and the rear of the front wishbones.
I thought the thread was rusted so brought some tools to repair but it turned out that the threads were good enough to use after sitting outside for quite some time.

I also removed the rear diff and axels:





Yesterday we did alot more thankfully.

We changed the whole rear suspension.

Remove from the donor:



First of 3 parts:



View on the front:



Second of 3 parts:



Last part already under the new chassis:



Parts 1 and 2 fitted:





Everything's on:



On crutches:



On it's feet!!:




Later that evening 2 friends dropped by, Bjorn and Tim.
Tim can weld plastic and my dashbord has quite some welding to be done to.

Working together:



Fitting and measuring:



More next time!

[projectrollas]

nice. coming along really well.

Today I tried the dash loom in.
I had some doubts on wether it would fit or not, mainly the heater could give some problems.

GL very empty:



The big question, will the heater fit with the loom inside?

Well, part 1 is in:





Part 2 is in:



En waddayaknow, the blower fits also!!:





Now I'm going to look if I can cut some more wire from the loom, that will save some weight and make it a bit easier to fix.

[robokill]

n1 going. Hey aram aren't you gonne paint it first?

[Aram]

No m8, first cutting, drilling and welding.


This week I addressed the loom.

There are 2 main looms, one under the dash and one running from the dash to the engine on the left hand side of the enginebay under the fender.

On the right side of the engine bay there is a loom also, this one consist of 96% ABS wiring, only 2 wires are for the blinkers.

Because of the cage and therefore even less space available between the heater and chassis I wanted to get rid of the ABS wiring, as I won't be using it anyway.

So I spent this week cutting the loom and researching the wiring diagrams.

Today I finished cutting and this coming week I will install the cable as is and reroute it so it fits nicely and without stres.
Then I will tiewrap it in place and tape it shut, resulting in a loom that won't scrape anywhere and is fits stressless between all the components.


Starting with diagrams in reach :



Chaos to everyone who doesn't where everything goes, so that's everyone but my I guess



ABS wiring:



This is how the put together wiring t the factory, no welding, cold fusion rules :



All ABS wiring removed from the plugs:









Hidden deep at times:



Operation table:



The result:



Tim, a friend of mine, was working on the dashboard:



Random pic of the car:



This is the color combo I was thinking of, maybe a bit lighter shade of grey though:

Hoi Dennis,

Ik ga voor Advan of Work of Volks denk ik.

While removing tape from the loom I accidently had cut of a wire that I had to repair.
I figured why not take pics of the proces?
So I did.

Strip the 2 wire ends:



Take a wire-end shell (most likely not the correct word for this item, if anyone knows please say it ) and remove the plastic end of it:



Put the 2 wire ends in at either side of the shell:



Use the special tool:





And finish it off with some isolation:



Simple really.

The car is on some STI wheels now, the Rota's are going back for repairs and won't return, time for some different wheels:



A friend of mine dropped by and we started on the FMIC set-up.
So we started of by cutting stuff away .
I must say, this going to be very nice indeed:








The loom is in the car again, ready to be tie-wrapped in place:
