Received my repaired cruise control module and installed it in my vehicle. Test drive shows it operates as expected. My barn find is waking up nicely.

 

installed new hood pad. Wife helped. My third time installing, and no wrinkles. Perfect fit. Honeycomb style (original look). I do it with the hood on the car.

 

All 3 cooling fans working as advertised.

14 inch SPAL pusher kicks in on cue and also when the AC button is pushed.

i keep finding nit-noid things to do when its all apart...

 

This would rank real high on my "Things I Never Thought I'd Do" list. Next stop, Orange CA and Cartersville GA.

 

Arrived from Germany today, never thought I'd see a "new" one of these as a complete unit (as in sitting on a shelf for 35 years in it's original box...)

 

hey...i know where you live.

Thats amazing. The expansion valve was already installed?

i think it was Mark Edwards that said that is about the center of the 928 tootsie pop.



today I cleaned up the wiring for the extra cooling fan and controller.

 

Yup, it's the whole thing, I couldn't believe it. When I looked a few years ago I swear it was listed as unavailable....

Rear a/c redo is next!

 

It's not directly to the car, but maintenance related...

I finally found a color scan of the 78 schematics!

After having it printed on 11x17 paper, it was cased in an art presentation folio.

I'll have to have the reverse serves printed again since I didn't flip on the long edges, but it works for now...

 

Fixed the 10 year old crease in my fender. It was so hot the clear layefd down rough so I have to color sand and buff but the dents gone and the color blend was perfect. I did it all myself with help from YouTube

Stuff I used

 

Project creep from putting a new "D" light in the pod turned into remove pod, center console, stereo and all the years of added on wires. Labeled everything.
New head unit in box ready to go in. Gonna go all LED in the Pod once Roger gets it to me.

 

Finished installing the new Greg B fuel hoses. Of the old ones, one was falling apart, two had gas weeps around the fittings, and one I had to break in half to remove. Collateral damage included the plug from (probably) the timing hall sender that connects at the diagnostic port (plastic disintegrated) and the crank sensor plug which is in the process of disintegrating. Held together with elec tape for now but will need to replace both (that plastic is complete and utter crap)

Also cleaned up the vacuum lines and vaccumed out all the crud that accumulates down by the MAF. Now to wait for a week before swapping out the FPR and trying the chips...

 

Got my personalized license plates:

 

I MISSED IT , THATS WHAT I DID.

cant wait to drive it again.

(sitting high. been on jack stands the last 7+months and new bushings and suspension 8+ months ago)

 

Still at it. 3rd times a charm
