10/14/2020 Update
Haven’t made an update post in quite awhile. I finished restoring my rusty frame rail and sprayed it with POR15, primer, and the correct color code spray paint.
(Before)
(Sanded)
(After)
In the following months I have learned that my car really likes to try to light on fire. The first was the main battery line that broke in the beginning of the year. The next instance was I smelt a faint wire burning smell in the interior and I couldn’t figure it out until I went out to start the car and the car would crank and briefly start only to die within a second. Turns out the previous owner did a subpar job wiring a relay into the fuel pump wiring and the wires melted causing no power to go to the fuel pump. I redid the wiring and added a fuse from the battery and replaced the old relay with a good all weather relay.

One smaller fix I did was during a car cruise I discovered I was unable to lock my door due to the dust flap on the locks breaking and getting jammed in the lock. I took apart both handles and removed the broken plastics so the locks will function now but the dust covers are missing now.

The most recent fix I had to do was to delete the FPD due to it leaking fuel all over the top of my engine. I followed the Banzai instructions and tapped the end of the primary rail and added a NPT fitting to remove the FPD. I also replace both the fuel lines with new lines and new clamps on both sides.
