The frame is now the correct length, the correct sub frame pieces are here & going on next week, I also now have the correct rear rims & tires. the suspension on the pass side is 100%. Delivered the battery, pass side fender, silicone hoses, squirter rez & fill neck. I have the pass side air bag now.
and all the connectors for items that got CRUSHED in the accident.
I'll have a day or so in repinning & testing sub systems.

I'm happy with the progress..

Last bits would be pass side interior door grab.
Front seat belts & repair of the dash pad ( or dash replacement ) .

 

Ok more progress

Today, delivered the hood,O rings for the A/C, more wiring harness...front bumper & energy absorber.

All the frame work is done, and now it's dry fitting time and it all looks great.....
The front rims are on the back and the back is on the front ( great! ).

So more news as it's available.

Mike

 

good look with the build man

 

So it's 4th of July weekend and the shop is taking a long weekend.

BUT I was able to stop by....
We are here:
The front pass side loom and all connectors are repaired and looking factory!
I did have to point out what connectors when where, which is difficult since 1/2 the front end bits are all over the shop...

New arrivals on parts:
Scored a drivers side seat belt ( not blown ).
Scored a front license bracket.
Scored a new grille ( non stock ).

The new stock rotors & pads are in..
The power steering lines are going back in ( since 2 were crushed in the PO's accident ).
Optima battery is in & all blown fuses in that STUPID panel behind the battery are replaced.
Glass goes in next week.
Drivers side fender ( had a few dings from the crash ) are paint ready.
All the frame bits that were replaced, or adaptor's, brackets used on the pull are removed, painted factory color & finished to factory.

So next week....
Fenders, hood, radiator core support all go to final bolt up and finish alignment
Power steering finalized, Cooling system installed, Auto tranny lines fixed & system topped off. AC condensor High side switch installed and all lines resealed..

Start up and verify that tranny works ( it did for a bit, till most of the fluid bled out on my driveway!) verify mechanicals

Misc parts needed....
Need the resonator that goes below the air cleaner assy.
One of the top radiator twist locks is missing & one lower radiator grommet is missing.


Now I know why these cars usually are not brought back from the dead....
This is getting expensive!! BUT I know it will be great when done..

Happy 4th!

Mike

 

Don't buy the resonator but instead do this mod

I saw that post earlier....

Right now I want to go back to 100% stock to have a good baseline....
THEN I'll start the mods....

Now Air bags, paint & bodywork is more important than a set of blingy rims!
( yeah I know..BORING! )

Mike

 

So new pictures in the garage....
Power steering plumbing complete..
More parts came in..
More sanding & blocking..
Mike
