Project update

I put up a couple new pics of the project car. Nothing to exciting, the major pulling, cutting and welding is happening tomorrow.

Check out the link for progress. More pics should be coming up tomorrow.

Hey Jeff,

I look forward to seeing the finished product. If it's anything close to your last project it will look great. Is this a keeper or are planning on selling it?

I'm a mechanical engineer for a living. I play with FDs for race tire $$.

I'm selling it, hopefully to someone that appreciates a practically perfect FD. It is getting painted without the doors or hatch on it. No tape lines, no dings, etc.

Hopefully this one will be painted in 1.5 wks.

Good job, maybe someday you'll get nominated for the Noble Peace Price for all the Sevens you've resurrected, well, at least if I ruled the world....

turbojeff,

just how in the hell did you get that door harness body connector off?

When I tried to remove mine, it felt like there were pinch-release tabs on it, covered by the boot. It felt like the boot was going to perforate when I was squeezing it, so was too chickensh*t to finish the job at the time.

Peel the boot off, it just fits in a little flange. The clip/release dealy is on the top of the connector. My 93 manual says it is on the side, NOT!

My manual has been misinformed as well. Glad to know the boot can come off first -- another little detail left out of the manual! :P

Thanks TJ.
