Took the dash material off the 76'. Even though it's not period correct, I like the later dash material better. Cleaned off the back, and gave it a rinse. Excellent condition, the pictures really don't do it justice, color is still perfect, no fading. This will go in the car next so I can put in my switches....

Was able to drag my Dad to the shop for a day to help me out, it's amazing what happens and gets done when he's with me.....

A pic of the pedal cluster that I rebuilt (about a year ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ). On the other side of that is my new 23mm Master Cylinder....

(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_1346.jpg)


Did a little adjustment on the torsion bars, as well as added that foam insert that goes between the cap and the housing, I really dig how the car sits now, and even think I'll go for that 'rake' look, where it's lower in the front than the back....

Finally putting in the switches and able to actually route them, this will def clean things up.....

(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_1351.jpg)

Fog lights working, but I think I'm going to get the Pilot Lights from CAMP. As a side-note, we are wiring these to be 'on/off', as I like to be able to turn them on and not use my headlights....

Finally! My car is getting some sunlight! It's crazy how much different the Signal Orange looks in the sun, I can't wait til it's sanded and buffed out to get all the dust off of it.....

Ok, so something interesting things I've learned recently regarding /6 conversions....

Apparently, the /6 steering wheel has it's own connector to attach to the windshield wiper motor, which on /6's are different. This makes sense as the wiper controls on a /6 are different.



Luckily, I've found a /6 wiper motor, although dirty, that cleaned up nicely. You can see the connectors in the pictures and how they differ from the /4 connectors. Now it's just a matter of mapping this to my car....

Been digging a few things out of storage this weekend...

Ordered a set of Pilot lights for both me and my Dad. Switch needs a small amount of work, but I'm not too worried about that....

Kudos to my Dad for finding a few brand new pieces of rubber...

Pilot lights installed, just need to make a few small alterations to the harness to fit the switch to the new wiring.

Did not really do anything on my car today, as we decided to move it to the house to do the finishing touches on it. Of course, had to clean a bit first...

So, even though you really cant tell from the picture, I gave the car a thorough wash down today, what a difference in color! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/signal914.jpg) Now all the bondo and fiberglass dust from the shop is gone!

Also, as I said before, I moved the car to the house to finish up, love it. Even though it's a little less room, it's alot easier to work in, especially since daylight savings has come, and I can work later....

Finally got out there and did some work on the car. Its at that point where it's SO close!

I want everything to be very clean, so I've been obsessive with my wire routing!

I'm thinking this for the dash insert instead of the basket weave...
