Brad,
You just love those P7's don't you. You've been after me to get them on my '79 OB. Maybe when my Goodyear F1's wear out |

Yes, the original P7s really complete the original look but I was mistaken, they aren't reproduced by Coker Tire :(
Might take as long to find them as it take to restore the beast. :p Brad, Your's had P7's on them? I assume they're on a shelf somewhere to be used only for parades and bar mitzvahs. ;) |

THAT is a fantastic car. I'm seriously thinking about selling the GTS when I get back to the states and buying an early OB. IMHO, the lines are so much cleaner without the spoilers, cladding, rub-strips, etc. Great find and rescue! / Bruce

We had a great time this weekend at Doerr's Garage with the 78 Euro
Met some new folks...Bradster brought by his 83 S .. he got it last week I missed Landseer by 2 min. as I arrived...my bad...Sorry, Chris We spent some real quality time on the interior and all the interesting wiring from the PO's....pulled the CE and aftermarket stuff A Good Time was had by All... Thanks again to the Doerr's for their gracious hospitality Kevin |
Electric stuff, errant wires and whatnots...
Had a couple head-scratchers trying to figure out the 'extra' wires and switch.
One was a direct-wire with relay to the foglamps, bypassing the headlamp circuits. An old job, pretty well done. My guess it was part of the fedralization process. Another was an 'AC on' toggle switch, which bypasses the micro-switch on the HVAC head. The CE panel looks to be in pretty good shape, with just one power splice (with no cutting, thankfully) Altogether, pretty minor stuff. Still need to figure out where this 2-lead pwr (red), and 2-lead gnd (brown) in the pax footwell goes. This can be seen in the right corner of the CE panel pic. FWIW, I can tell you the right-side door plunger switch has no pwr at this point. Might be something to do with that. Anybody have an idea? http://members.rennlist.org/jadz928/...lectrics_6.JPG Foglamp switch bypass http://members.rennlist.org/jadz928/...lectrics_1.JPG Foglamp pwr relay http://members.rennlist.org/jadz928/...lectrics_2.JPG AC toogle switch (found on btm side of pod) http://members.rennlist.org/jadz928/...lectrics_3.JPG AC microswitch wires (traced back to JI & J2 on CE) http://members.rennlist.org/jadz928/...lectrics_7.JPG http://members.rennlist.org/jadz928/...lectrics_4.JPG http://members.rennlist.org/jadz928/...lectrics_5.JPG |
Looking good guys. As to the extra wires on that end of the panel, I encountered a similar situation with the Blumaxx, and never got it solved - here's the thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...-ce-panel.html

Dang....!! looking at those pics makes me think we are getting too proficient at
disassembling these cars.....people might think we are 'pros'.... or 'experts'.........ridiculous...... |
That is sweet ride. Sorry I missed out.
