Even better, get a generator setup and install a welder on the trailer, then be underneath the car welding, that'll take it to the next level. "Damn wind keeps blowing away all my shielding gas!"

Det_Riot Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Through floors are officially done. Just gotta throw down some seam sealerAlso looks like a mess but 90% if fusebox relocation wiring is done. Gotta finish up about 6 wires, then that project is complete. Still gotta do the battery wiring but that shouldn't be a big dealFinished swapping over the dash cover to black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out done first next year when @ comes again!Did we get it running today?Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkNo :-( got trolled a little bit today but necessary. Buddy's truck got it's last stand and needed to be towed home from about an hour away. Good initial trip to work out any kinks in the trailer. Loosed up a brake pad because it was dragging. Getting new tires for it today and it'll be ready for these trip! Water.... Skippin'... BalllllllObviiii going to have to teach @WildWillyWalker the ways!You're gonna need all that beach time down in Myrtle, I get tired just looking at these pics lol.Right? I think @1997cobra is gonna take his own vacation and sleep for a week straight after I leave.No picture updates from yesterday. Donovan did work on exhaust while I finished tying up loose ends with wiring in the car. Need to route the starter signal wire and battery cable and wiring will be done until after the retune. Got both brakes fitted up and mounted, shortened the inner tie rods for the fox a arms but it wasn't going to be enough. Picking up some foxbody inner and outer tie rods today to fix that issue. Also either picking up my axle completed from TeamZ or telling them to fuck off. How the fuck does "1-2 weeks" turn into 4?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 When I had the Team Z arms, I shortened my tie rods, then also shortened my bump steer. I put it in the lathe and took 3/8" off both sides of the aluminum turn buckle part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmage Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 @Det_Riot how did you route all the wires into the rear seat area? i have an idea of some ways to get em in there, but nothing that comes to mind that would look/work decently.

Over the bulkhead. It'll all be under the carpet so I wasn't overly concerned with hiding them.If you look in this picture you can kinda see the yellow wire that's taped into a bootleg harness. It just runs next to the OEM one that heads to the back. If you wanted to be real sneaky, there's a plug in the driver fender, that takes you down into the rocker, you'd have to open that hole up but you could fish wires all the way up to the rear bulkhead. Then at the read bulkhead there's already an opening. Just blow another one through the backside to bring it all into the rear seat area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll snap some pics once the carpet is back in. If I don't like how it fits, I'll probably flatten out the bundles to pass over the bulkhead. I pulled a spare fusebox harness and interior harness from a junkyard car and tried to match the wires color and gauge as much as possible. Worked out unreasonably well :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
