finally doing some needed work on my 7

got the oil pan off last night ... that was a bitch ...

scrubbed all the mating surfaces ... going to reattach the new pan tonight ...

im also going to fix my antenna, maybe repaint my wiper arms , install my guage holder into my din slot, and put the guages in ... even though they wont be hooked to anything quite just yet ...

where on the waterpump housing do i need to drill to put the connector for a water temp guage sending unit?

im going to flush my coolant and figured i might as well go ahead and take off the waterpump housing and take it to davids or something to drill it out ...

hmmm theres some other stuff i need to do to ... oh yeah take off my steering wheel and reattach it to make it straighter ... lol

whats up with you guys?

what guages are you installing DJ?

if your installing a water temp sensor (which you should since the s5 guage is so fucked) where are you planning on installing the sending unit?

I'm putting in Oil pressure, Water temp, and A/F meter.

Oil P. is going into the stock location on the block in place of the stock sending unit since mine doesn't work. I'm getting a T fitting for the water temp, and A/F is self explanatory. Also I need to put the boost gauge in, but YOU (Dustin) forgot how yours was routed so I gotta figure it out myself!
