What I've done since last post:
-Made battery tray, just got to mount it in a way to reduce the likelihood of rust forming again.
-Driver's side front inner guard repaired, just needs a little bit of filler
-Rust removed from passenger's side front inner guard, half welded up, just need to cut a little bit more out (1sq inch) and weld some new stuff in
-Got some pieces off a wagon at the wreckers:
-----Amazingly rust free drivers side fender. Will save me time repairing my one.
-----Near spotless/hack-free (needs a clean up and paint touch up, has one hole in it where switch used to be for spotlights) dash fascia with clock above radio
-----Another tacho if anyone is really really desperate for one
I swapped my hacked up old dash fascia with the wagon one. Only a couple of problems when I did it:
- Old vents in the wagon fascia did not operate/were broken, simple job of just unscrewing the ones from my dash and put them in the wagon one
- When I went to take the headlight switch knob off to remove the switch from my fascia, found that previous owner had superglued it on, so had to get a bit industrial on it's a$$ with some pliers and such, got it off in the end without breaking anything
- When I got the wagon fascia all attached and installed on my dash chassis, found that the previous owner had cut the plug off the end of the wires for the clock in the centre of the dash. Got to search for a suitable plug from one of my many wiring harnesses laying around the shed and solder it in to hook the clock up.
Cleaned the silastic off the little compartment that lives above the radio from my fascia and clipped it into the wagon fascia.
I need to mount the temp gauge under the dash chassis where it should have been mounted in the first place instead of silastic-ed into a hole hacked into the old fascia.
