SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!
I did some things.
I took some pics.
I wore slides the whole time.
(win win win)
I have this big list I want to get done before August 16, so I had best get started.
In today's world of GPS and phones and devices, I thought it prudent to install a 12v outlet in the car. (cigarette lighter socket in a past age) I am very much in love with my very tidy dashboard so I didn't want to put it up there. But I also didn't want it haphazardly hanging below the dash or floating out in space somewhere or somewhere difficult to reach. I think I hit a home run.
This is wired into my small fuse panel behind the passenger seat so the fuse is right on the power source and I've installed a 5amp fuse as a dual USB adapter only draws ~3.5amps at full chat. I've also installed a Porsche shielded double-male connector under the shift tower so I can pull the shift tower without pulling the whole wire from the tunnel.
Next on the list were the big shiny seat pads I have in the back seat.
Totes ugly, yeah? Well the shiny stuff is fabric backed and alleged to be a shield for heat and sound. IDK how well it works, but it is light and it was free.
Laying out the tweed so the pattern is straight and I don't waste a bunch of material.
Some scissor snips, some Super 90, some sticky fingers, and Violin!
Not great, not awful. About par for this car...maybe a stroke off the pace.
I've been driving a lot and that means I've been caught in the rain. While this hasn't been the end of the world while it's raining...the time after the rain, but before the roads dry really pastes up the windscreen. I've had no way to spray the screen, so I've just had to drive through paste until I could stop at a gas station to wipe it or get home and clean it. Today, I said, "No more pasty windscreens for me!" (it was very dramatic)
Enter the Amazon windshield reservoir kit, a small scrap of aluminum, a squirt of satin black, and poof!
With the reservoir and pump in place, I needed to direct the flow so's to not cross the streams. I tucked the supplied clear tube alongside the wiring harness and then up to a tee. Tee and [cobbled together] silicone hoses to the squirters shown here. There is a very high likelihood that this will be revised, so I'm not too stressed about its general appearance at this time.
Add about 45 minutes of forking about aiming the squirters where I think they'll work and job done.
I didn't exactly set the world on fire, but I did check off one annoying item and two rather important items off my list. When my order from BelMetric arrives, I'll knock out another important one.
