[SilentScope]

Been a couple of months now.. any new updates?

 

[dangerzone]

Yes, lots of progress but i need to get off my lazy A$$ and atleast get a cheap cam to throw some pics. Instead of listing everything Ive done the past few months, ill just say that I attempted to crank it last weekend but no sucsess. For some reason Im not getting power to my starter silonoid and it wont turn over. Ive jumped the starter and it does of course but wont with the key?? Grounds are good so i got some electrical trouble shooting to do for now lol.
Ill get an el cheapo cam this weekend and get some pics up i promise.

O yeah, swaping the floor board was a major PITA but well worth the trouble in the end because everything lined up perfectly ( seat, pedals, console, heater/AC box, dash, ect, ect)

Another member just had this exact problem, it ended up being the "starter enable switch". Here you go....

Congrats! Can't wait to see the progress! Hope you figure out the started problem but it looks like the above link may be your ticket

OP What beer do you enjoy? We should start a fund to buy you a keg so you can get this project finished! Hell, fly me out there and i'll work for free for a week ahah but then you'll have no beer and a car that still doesnt work after a week. LOL

This is a fantastic project, cant wait to see the end.

Camera's are very cheap these days. You can get them for $30 at walmart

I'm with Cliff on this one just fly me out for a week...wait then you'll have two people that will just get drunk and still have a non working car.

 

[SilentScope]

2 hands are better than one right? then we can hold our beers and still have a pair of "working hands" to fuck the job up. haha

Im so anxious to see this finished project. its such a great idea. The floorboard swap really made this a night or day project. I think thats so class that you went the long and righteous route on this project.

Ok, still dont have a camera lol cause ive been under this car all weekend non stop and finially got this beast crunk up!!! WOOT!! I havent checked the above link yet but in a nutshell, it was a ground like always lol. Car pretty much fired right up, seems to be doing good so far.I have a few more thing to button up like steering shaft, brake lines and all the lil things and should be ready for a test drive here shortly..Ill try to get pics and vids up 2 morro or tuesday at the latest

Yeah, that was the first thing i started checking after it wouldnt crank. I jump the NSS, anf the cruise cut off switch and no luck with me. The statewr relay had 12v key-on power and also 12 start pos so its clearly a groung fault somewhere! Where?, I dont know yet lol. so for giggles, We jumped a ground wire to the neg (on starter relay prong) and it fired off. Problem is there is no wire that goes under the realy where i jumped the neg to so im puzzled to whats going on but it doesnt seem to interfere with anything else the way it is so i may leave well enough alone???

 

[stangfreak]

i understand budgets and so worth but seems like that drivetrain would have been more worthy of a real cherry low mileage 4cyl donor.

PICS!!!!!!

Few interior pics to see how everything has lined up and so forth. Still have alot of interior and cosmetic work left tho.

 

[dangerzone]

IDK why it displayed the pics in a square like that??
