Its always time for an update on the blue car thread.
This time, aposed to saying what little i got done on the weekend, i will state what needs to be done for the car to hit the road for road worthy, and then what i wil be doing to the car once its road worthied and road-driving. In order...
1) Most annoying thing about this car atm, this problem just keeps re-occuring, and its as if i CANNOT get past it. I am in desperate need of a Right hand T18 hand brake cable. Mine is frayed, and farked. Once thats on, brake system is 100% complete, pending a final brake bleed and handbrake adjustment.
2) Need to make a protective sheild for the elaborate pipe work plumbing for the fuel system (under boot). Bolt up.
3) Install new inner guard plastics with the clips. blasted clips are a **** to work with.
4) Lower car to ground, Tighten all diff bolts for new suspension bushes (have to set them up in correct position).
5) Work out imoblisor problem. Its Vehicle can still be started with motor imobilised. Auto leckie from work coming up this week to check it out - field trip!
6) Re-seal rear tail lights for road worthy (lenses dried out and poped out, its been there that long, lol)
7) Finish Wiring up Boot light to switch
8) Cut remanding extra foam to go on top of sound deadening under carpet for that "70's plush feel between your toes. hell no to anyone using shoes in this car!
9) Install Rear Seat. Clean.
10) Once imobiliser problem sorted, Tape up all the related wiring, install into dash and related area(s). Install heater box, again, glove box. Lower dash panels.
11) Drill passenger side door to body holes and install new (gota purchase it) rubber tubing for wire to run through. I'm gona have to pull the drivers side stuff out, as its too squashed and prone to electrical wiring snappage in future. Run extra blank wires for the future :P
12) Connect up mirror switch wiring (plug) & Get working. Matter of wire + connect + Join correctly & Test.
13) Install center console + handbrake glove box (all center stuff). Run blank wire to center console area for after rego center glove box light.
14) Install front seats. Install remanding lower dash panels (bottom A pillar, under dash)
15) Wire in ignition barrel light, install velour trim around light, blend into steering colum. Install steering colum.
16) Install SAAS boss kit & SAAS deep dish Steering wheel (hehehe :y:)
17) Install stock dash facure and assembly (my custom dash is all here at home, way too much to cart it all up there, and custom apply it in the shed. Ill do that at home in a weekend once its down here)
18) Install newly paited (last weekend) Rear view mirror. Paint and install interiour center light. Gather and install inside mirror covers on tops of doors
18.5) (haha) - Install new DOOR TRIMS and handels. I must go harras the auto trimmer this week. GRRRR!!
19) Interiour is now offically 100% finished (provided i havnt missed anything, theres a 90% chance that i have missed something, bahaha)
20) Remove, paint and install airbox assembly mounts. Airbox piping being made up this week, provided all goes to plan.

24) Adjust TPS Settings
25) Install LHS earth strap from body to motor (thanks justin :y:)
26) Plug back in starter motor, and bolt the remaning bell housing bolts in correctly.
27) Top up the gearbox.. well, re-fill it up. Rear housing seal is dry from sitting for years, and it just piss's out fluid. Just sitting there. :yes: (will R&R @ work)
28) Plug back in indicators, Replace a handfull of blown bulbs. On weekend gone by, adjusted the twinheadlight front end stuff. Now its sitting all square :)
29) Re-bleed clutch. Test line, it kinda held a gearbox up for about 2 weeks while the stupid jack failed.. ugh, silly me why didnt i use a jack stand.
30) Go over car with a fine tooth comb. Check and re-check everything. Check it all again. Install Rims and new tyres.
31) Once everythign is in order, and ok. Plan as follows. Detail car for the final time in the shed. Re-Water proof test it.
