Started my A/C relocation...
I decided that since my car was going to be sitting in the garage for a while that I should do all of the things I wanted to the car finally. So I stared my A/C relocation project. I finished all the wiring today and got all of my supplies for this project. I took pictures of the wiring and everything, tomorrow I will be cutting and doing the panel work and then paint it. I should have everything done by the end of tomorrow. Here's the pics:

Here's the Main board for the dial's, and all associated buttons on the top center console:

Here's everything I had to lengthen for them to reach lower center console:

Do you have to lengthen each wire?

looks like a shit load of fun. did you just crimp the wire or solder(SP?) them and put shrink wrap on?
joel |
I soldered them and then used shrink wrap. I ran out for the last few wires so I used electrical tape. I would never use butt connectors or crimp them, that's the half assed way, plus not very reliable. I already tested everything also and it all works great!

I'm not done! :p: Yes you do. Here's a picture of the A/C speed dial:

Ok I didn't get to do what I wantewd today because of some unwanted things happened, but I was able to tape all the wires together and install everything in its place so its ready for panels once I finish the panels up. Here's the pics of the wire mess that's in the dash now.

Here's another pic showing the top portion where the main circuit board is going to sit. I cut the part that held the board off of the entire A/C control case so it would still protect the board without that giant thing in there.

Last pic for the night guys! Hopefully I can have the panel work done tomorrow. I want this done so I dont have to worry about anything. This one is just of where I ran the wires through.

Nice I think I am trying to do that soon as well. My car is currently down for a while too. I just need to get my hands on a 2nd A/C panel. Let us know how it finishes up.
|
whoa... dejevu!!!
looking great!! |
Thanks guys. I still haven't been able to do the panel work yet as I ran into a problem with my dremel tool. One of the holder pieces is missing, so I'm gonna have to go out and buy one tomorrow. I'll get pics of the final work sometime over the weekend or Monday.
|
Ok I got everything cut out nice with my dremel. I sanded it all down and got all the paint off and started to bondo it all. I will get some pictures up tomorrow. The paint is a bitch to sand off because it is so thick. Took me forever since I did it by hand. Dremel woulda beat my panels up. But anyways I should have the lower center console done by tomorrow and painted. I have to figure out how I'm gonna set the layout on my upper center console up. I want to possibly put my turbo timer up there, maybe move my boost gauge up there, and then possibly put in a A/F gauge (kinda want a wideband, anyone know how much they are?).
|
not sure if this will be any help to you or not...

Yeah it does a little. Thanks. I'm gonna make a tray for my turbo timer to be in there too.
|
I feel damned good! I finished the lower center console and its waiting to dry right now with its second coat of paint already. I will get pictures once I do a few more coats, I'm thinking about 5 coats. I will then start working on the upper center console and placements of gauges. It looks really good, looks great for my first time working with bondo and panel work IMO. Hope everything turns out good with no sudden "pit stops".
|
get it doen already whats the hold up. can't wait for pics man.
joel |
that shit will look tight!! good work, wanna do mine? :)
