whew! lotsa work to get this one roadworthy. during the brake bleeding process (which btw yielded brake fluid that was chocolate in color) i found out the mc was hemhorraging fluid badly. here's a pic of the pedal cluster sitting in a lake of brake fluid. fluid was also down the entire center tunnel. mucho fun...


and after cleanup, which inovlved a shop vac, dawn detergent, and lots of water.


while i was under there, i also noticed a different paint color on the bottom dash metal. hmmm.


anyone know what these wires do???? they weren't plugged in. i'm especially curious about the round one.


the spring for the clutch pedal is now broken, not sure how that happened, but i need a new one, or a new pedal cluster that's not coated with brake fluid and beginning to rust.


extra parts, can't remember where they go. any ideas? the one on the left looks important...


jp would be so proud, i built myself some 12" cubes out of 3/4" plywood to set the car on. jackstands make me nervous too.


that's all for now. new 2.0 liter exhaust and ss exchangers comes in a few days, i need to get off my butt and remove the stock exhaust system.
