I'm committed now. Or I should be comitted. One of them is defintely true.

Damn that Brad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) "I'm not pulling the harness." Brad replies, "It's easy." Andy did it in an hour." Actually, is wasn't too bad getting the dash wiring out. Now for the front and the rear (I know the rear's gonna be fun).

strange wheel adapter what is it?


Thats a collapsible adapter. It will give before the steering wheel bends, absorbing some impact.

Hah! At least one full (long) day. It took 4 hours to get it all out. I just finished. It's laying on the garage floor. There's a LOT of wire there. Props to Andy (or anyone else for that matter) that can do this in under 2 hours.

OUCH!!

Guys, when you pull a harness out, PULL a NEW WIRE the other way as you take it out..

You know why? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

1. Easy to pull the harness back, less likely to hurt the harness pushing.

2. SO YOU KNOW WHERE AND HOW IT WAS PULLED.

Anyone who's done it knows why. Actually, you can do it just before you re-install. It wouldn't be difficult.

Thanks Rich for the advice this afternoon (phone conversation).

Gint,

Why did you remove the wiring harness?

BTW, nice job on the rusto, keep up the good work and the inspiration for the rest of us.

Full repaint. Most of the car will be completey stripped. Slight surface rust along the inside of the dash also. I might as well get it all out and get it all clean.

See the scale in these pics?

I had left the gauge cluster hanging while fighting with the dash pad and the wiring harness. I also left the key in the ignition so I wouldn't have to hunt it down if I needed to turn the wheel. Guess what happened.

Believe it or not, the Ace Hardware guy managed to make a new key from this one. And it works! Good thing too, because this one was the only key I have for this car.

Pretty empty now. Just a few more odds n ends. I need to leave the suspension on it for now to get it on and off the trailer.

I thought I heard a little about this car coming west again. Didn't know for sure. What kind of time frame are you looking at?

Gint,

Thats a lot of work. I took one completely apart, including the wiring harness, for a complete repaint. Unfortunately my plans changed and I sold the car (in plastic bags). It was a lot of fun though, taking every nut and bolt off the car. Maybe the good news is I didn't have to try to put it back together again, although I was pretty careful to label all the parts.

That car is now running and driving. I drove it a few weeks back. Darren did a good job of getting it all together.
