Surreptitious.....

[oldeskewltoy]

Can't stop on the outside and drivetrain... got to get the interior back into condition too.

Above are 2 of 3 parts to the ventilation system, the blower box(in both photos), and the routing/heater core box(defrost, heater combination), the duct between them is the only thing absent.

They were filthy, nasty, disgusting... but that is expected after 26 years! The foam seals were flaking to nothing! I spent the better part of 4 hours today cleaning all the parts, blowing out years of debris and then installing new foam seals all over the unit to keep the air inside the ducts, and so maximize the efficiency of the system.


even spent time cleaning the dash... got all those yucky sticky bits out... it looked like someone poured something disgusting back there once... well, its clean now, along with the duct work not in the above post




All of this in preparation to it getting wired




There are many things I KNOW how to do.... there are somethings I DON'T know how to do...........


The OEM harness gives up its connectors(and short sections of wire) for the good of the project.


As I said... I DON'T know wiring... but the man whose back of the head you see is Mark, he knows wiring. There is quite a bit MORE involved in wiring a street car, then wiring a drifter/racer, as Mark figures....


The harness gradually coming together!
