Spent the rest of the afternoon stripping and priming the driver's side frame rail.





Today's agenda - remove old bushings, strip and primer these...

I would put ball joints in it while you got it apart.

Made progress on the electrical. Got my dash lights working after replacing the light switch. Heater works if I wiggle the switch, so time for a new switch. Still have no tail lights. Need to check the ground, I'm hoping thats the problem.

Made arrangements to have the new EFI installed and the air conditioning installed. I will be checking with NPD to see if they have them in stock. Should have my car at the shop early next week.

WOO HOO !

It was a real chore to uncover him and drive 10 miles to get him up to operating temperature and change the oil and filter on Sunday.Sometimes I wonder if it is really worth keeping the car.

Dash lights tonight, looks like the intermediate harness might be bad. tail lights work fine with a jumper wire from the wire before the harness. I hope it's not bad, to replace it means removing half the interior out of the car.

Maybe it is just the camera but your dash lights look to be much brighter than mine!
