1/0 battery cables. =o) That ground cable is going to the side of my engine block, the starter WILL be getting enough electrons.

I started pushing the corner out and straightening some sheet metal.

... and this chunk of bondo popped out of the metal. Looks like I might have enough to go on for straightening it out to 'functional'

Good call on the 1/0 cabling. These cars like most VAG products and euro cars of the era suffer from poor electronics.

Hell even my 01 GTi has a piss poor grounding system and electrics.

I cleaned up a bunch of grounds on my 914 when I was cleaning metal, and since they were disconnected I cleaned the spade connectors/ring terminals. The car ran noticeably better than it did before.

I imagine with a modern ECU that is sensitive to voltage drops and a little more complex than D-jet/L-Jet you would have some issues.

Next stop is to add some more grounds and clean more grounds.

Hey when I posted that your video was just a blank white box (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Nice to hear it run. Now lets see it propel you down the road (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

heh. I have to pull the transmission away from the adapter plate and see what is binding inside of there. it will propel me, if I start it in gear and don't plan on shifting.

oh yeah, I had to adjust my youtube tag again. the first vid in this thread has the _ and the second vid doesn't. rather weird, but it's working now. (side note: thank you again to the admin that provided me with some assistance in getting me on the right track.)

All of my computer electrics and sensors ground directly to the block, or to a nice clean spot that I made for grounding point where my rear trunk spring use to be.

Next is to zip tie a spaghetti mess next to the engine...

That reminds me; I cleaned up spaghetti mess in the front trunk. I changed the wiring harness and now have functional lights for all four corners again. High beams, low beams, turn signals, flashers, brake lights, back up lights, tail lights...
the ground points all seem to be doing well from cleaning them. =o)

I ran into problems with my clutch not disengaging.

The transmission had to come out, then the bolt with the ball on the end of it needed shimmed out a couple of washers, and I had to change the retainer plate that goes on the back of the clutch arm. (or whatever it's called)

I've been up since 4, and it is now 9:30. I managed to get the transmission back in, all of my wiring cleaned up, the car pushed out fo the shop, and had it started and idling a little.

I'm having fun getting MS-II to have the right settings for all of my Chrysler sensors. MegaSquirt comes ready to go with GM sensors...

so the deck lids are back on in case it rains, and here is a pic from the day.

Oh, and I drove it five foot. =o)

Yes, the hammer is holding the bumper on. Just the hammer, gravity, the front valance, and that @#$%# bondo. =o)

Right now both of the eyes are out; I need to get some more hardware/screws etc from the parts car to put it all together.

current status:

The car is on jackstands waiting for some wheels and tires. It is also waiting for a silicone elbow to go to the throttle body from the piping where the intercooler should be. The rubber one blew apart from heat and pressure. wuahahaha

Then I'll get the video of it taking off. (with a not so optimal tune, but it still takes off)

I guess I've been too busy driving it around town tuning it to post updates. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
