As stated... Today is the day for my final push, either i get her up and running to pass inspection tomorrow. Or i got to take my subaru on vacation, which would ****.... I have been doing this long standing project of swapping my old 95 guts & drivetrain into a rust free 88.
My checklist for today is
remount the 5spd trans... it was mounted for an AOD orignally
attach the fresh rebuilt 1356
rebuild both driveshafts and install
do the rear brakes then swap to manual hubs up front
bleed the brakes & the clutch
splice the 88 tailgate harness to the 95 harness so i can swap in the 95 taillight harness. (so i have working brake lights)
finish bolting up the fuel tank
Put the trans tunnel cover on, plus the shifters.
mount the drivers seat
replace drivers window (yes the motor is good) by the PO shattered the window somehow...
finish aligning the front clip bolt the new radiator support
put in battery tray them air filter tray
make sure the engine harness is together
put in condensor & radiator then attach lines
attach headlamp panel grill and lights
bolt up bumper
fill all fluids
and hope she starts and i didn't forget anything...
anybody who knows anything on r&r the drivers window to help speed me along??? along with what to spice/jump (harness wise to drop the tailgate window)...
The NEW great NC rules say i have to get the vehicle inspected before i can register it. Since the DMV office is not open on saturday, i have to push it to get it inspected tomorrow (where she will get new tires and exhaust)so i can get my tag...
So unless you live around lake norman NC and know your stuff and have the day off.LOL Even tho i have my doubts i will finish it, i'm going to give it **** today! so wish me luck.
