I've gotten a few things done I thought I'd post about. Most of it has been finalizing or tightening things down for good. Reassembled the master cylinder/booster assembly after painting and replacing the hoses and switches. Got it installed the car so that I could install the pedal assembly permanently along with the floor boards.
Installed the shifter in the car along with the shift rod with new bushings. Already had a wevo coupler on from before. Rebuilt the door strikers as mine were cracked in a few places and painted them.
I installed a bracket made for an LS motor to be able to use a cable throttle instead of the complicated linkage. Im using a lokar universal stainless cable and everything hooked up just fine at least on the pedal side. Ive used that cable before on other cars with good results. I was worried with how long the cable had to be that it would be rough but as of now its pretty smooth.
I trimmed, tucked, and glued the shift boot I had the upholsterer make for the parking brake and installed it in the car with stainless hardware.
In that picture you can also see the bracket I had to make for the seat belts. It's not the prettiest but I'm not sure what else to so. I used a 3/16 steel plate to reach across and bolt under both seats then attached brey krause seat belt brackets to it to hold the receptacles with grade 8 hardware. It's sturdy and secure but it doesnt look so great inside. Any ideas?
I installed the driver side door which went smoother than I thought.
I went ahead and test fit the rest of the fender and bumper on that side just to see how it look. Pardon the mess, there is a lot going on at once!
I ordered a clear rear window along with a new porsche rear seal. It's been impossible to get the trim on the seal. The seal wants to just fall off the window and I think the trim is not in the correct shape at all. I have to say this is the one task on this car that has frustrated me and made me consider having someone else do. Any suggestions on getting the trim snap on easier? Is it recommended to use windshield adhesive?
