Now I'm working on this relay. The big push & pull into the engine compartment comes next. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

It's probably news to the rest of the world, but today is a state holiday in Massachusetts - Patriot's Day!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) So, Nick and I got busy pulling the main wiring harness into the engine compartment. I learned the hard way that the branches must go in a precise pattern so that everything can be pulled thru - the logic relay panel wires must go in last. Here's Nick very proud of helping me today. I was in the engine compartment, I would feed a wire thru to Nick, he would attach the wire with a wire tie to the wire branch and feed it in. Took about 1 hour to do.

I bundled all the wires together and then used electric tape to tape everything together tight and secure to pull thru the tunnel and out the engine fire wall. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

I took a break from rewiring the logic relay panel under the passenger seat to post these pictures. That will be finished today. Learned you must be careful pushing in the small clips to remove, cause you gotta push them back out (very damn small they are) to reattach! Bowlsby, your work on the harness is spectacular. You repaired several bad areas around the logic relay panel (and removed the seat belt interrupt starter circuit!!). Man, it is finally almost entirely back into the car.

My oldest son wanted to get into the picture as he left to go back to college today. Now he wants to know when the 914 will be back together. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

So I pulled everything thru and put the bundle in the trunk for today. Next into the engine compartment. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Patriot's Day..I called my client back in Boston and they had the day off. If I have known Iwould have taking off the day too.

Gteat job! Takes me back to 20 years ago when I did mine. Keep up the pictorials!

Cut some black vinyl tubing and place over the hold down tabs for the wireing harness- as the factory did.

Thanks Karqeek, I have a bag somewhere in my garage with all the hold down tabs I removed. Some can be reused. A lot will have to be replaced because they were painted with previous repaints without removing anything. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Well, we have continued to try to make small progress. Eric (Partsman here) Sanders hooked me up with all new factory seals. Here is where things stand.

New hood seal is place (OK Eric don't tell anyone I installed it upside down), new bulkhead seal, new dash/Windshield seal, wired in Pilot lights, and lights are now in and waiting only for screws for chrome surrounds. Working on the trunk is almost complete.

Inside, all new seals for the trunk. Also, you can't see the new dog bones used to mount the bumper. Inside the trunk are small hard parts to mount the sub-dash, it should be ready to go in this week.

Let me tell you pushing those factory seals in place takes a lot of muscle power - the rubber has a metal band inside and you really got to push, push, push. A couple of the pieces are about an inch longer than needed and will have to be trimmed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I am starting on the engine lid tonight and setting up a work bench to build up the door. All the hardware, seals, channels, etc. will be replaced or renewed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

My plan is to build a small work bench that will support each door on a couple of inches of foam padding and then add the window and door hardware, glass, etc. and then hang the door after they are completely assembled. Will let you know how that works. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Also put in these new seals on the body for the doors. These (like almost every other seal) were missing from my car when I got it three years ago. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Put these in just to see how they fit. They will come out later as the whole assembly goes in.
