Despite all the work on the silver one, the white one is the better car unless theres rust
issues we can't see in the pics.

Get it running, make it reliable, clean it up, then swap trannys.

Fuck it. Silver one is getting put together tomorrow. You guys will have to wait until next year for the white one.

Still don't have the title for it in my hands, and I'm not going to risk not having it in time.

I haven't turned a wrench in anger for quite some time, so tomorrow should be fun!!

Progress today.

Fenders are on.
Grill and headlight bezels are on.
Fuel pump installed
Cleaned up some wiring under the hood.
Trunk lid is on.
Tail lights are on
Door cards are on.
Shifter installed.
Fuel tank soaking (again)

Only thing left is to top off some fluids and get Charles over here to help wire it up. Also need to take the tank to Charles to flush it.

More stuff:

Did some work today, with some much needed help from Charles.

-Cleaned up the engine harness. Now there is only about 5 or 6 wires left.
-Wired up the electronic dizzy and coils
-Wired up the S4 alternator
-front clip back on
-fuel pump and lines installed

We put power to it for the first time in at least 16 years. Amazingly, nearly everything works.

Here's a list of what still needs to be done.
-figure out why I have no brake lights
-figure out why the wipers/washer doesn't work
-bleed clutch
-fill rear end
-fill trans
-fill oil
-fill coolant
-clean tank (happening Sunday)
-fix oil leak at oil cooler thermostat
-figure out why driver side mirror doesn't work

Should be all buttoned up this weekend. Knock on wood.

Prove it with pics or it didn't happen!

So silver one it is. Can't wait to see it.

djmtsu 03-27-2015 09:20 AM

No pics yet. The dizzy and coil wiring is clean and pretty. The other few wires are waiting until I install the positive cable and oil pressure sender before I clean up that small bundle.

Can't wait to see it DJ.

I honestly don't know how I'm going to be able to make it there in the Cosmo. There isn't a lot of work to do, but I just have no time. Working all the time, getting home late, then having to deal with wife and kiddo, and house stuff. Its killing me. I am going to try to finish up all the small stuff tonight and tomorrow night. The tank is the elephant in the room, since nothing can happen until its done.

Oh, and I still haven't registered and tagged it....

That's racist!!!

reddozen 04-07-2015 04:31 PM

He's just jealous of my elephant in the roof....

djmtsu 04-07-2015 04:48 PM

Imagine that on your MR2. Massive elephant schlong all in your face.
