yeah ill get some this arvo when i take rest of interior out. its only passenger side. dont know how we missed it when we did retrim
Cut all rust out now found some more but all cut out need to weld plates in tomoz Here are some pics sorry about rotation
Aww, sucks about the rust, but its almost impossible to stop these old gurls rusting away. Good that you're fixing it up/cutting it out properly should help slow it right down... Not sure with the gearbox's, heard a few people have them done so mustn't be too bad?!! A few years ago now it was the 'done thing' so I would assume if you can find one with whatever bellhousing you'd need then go for it?! Just my opinion, not based on any technical stuff
hey bro. thaks for the pics, just a tip. hit enter a couple of times in between the img's so they are split up. it makes it kinda hard to look at as one massive pic. but good work on the rust though, i especially love the doona cover as your masking
Yeah no point half arse doing it just ganna pop back out in a month if its not done properly. yeah looked into it it is a bit of work so not ganna bother. just gotta get new gearbox but. wontder if the v6 4 speeds will fit. yeah my bad. must of been a bit tired when uploading. yeah the doona worked a treat ha.. was just so i didnt get sand into trim and wreck the trim.
Just went down to jaycar and got central locking kit and a remote also. hope it goes alright. no more scratching paint from missing the lock at night. ganna hook it up tomorrow or wednesday shouldnt take to long
the jaycar kit is a piece of piss. the actuators fit in so easy. i got the same one, but got one of their alarms/immobilisers so took a few days to install cos was being all sneaky sneaky with my wiring.
im glad its easy than. im going to hook it all up tonight looks pretty easy with the bullet connections.
just one thought though, they dont really include any flexible conduit with it. i wasnt happy with how the wires bent over on themselves when you closed the door. eventually they will snap from all the opening and closing, so (and feel free to not do this cos' it is a little dodgie) i drilled a 8mm hole on the door and sealed it with a grommet, then drilled a 12mm hole on the A pillar and put a grommet in. then got a coat hanger and cut around 180mm and bent it in a curved shape which i wrapped into the loom really tight so it wouldnt move. the idea is that when you open the door, the 8mm grommet and loom doesnt move at all, but the 10mm grommet allows the loom to slide in and out, the curved shape is the angle the wire takes when the door is open. making sense? so that way the wire doesnt fold over, it rotates in and out of the A pillar. the only downfall is that the 10mm side isnt sealed against the weather, so it may get water in it. just a thought. you will understand what i mean when you get to that part
haha yeah reading it dont really get it. but im sure ill understand it a bit more when im putting it all in thanks
well somehow you have to get 5 wires (on the drivers side, the rest are 2 wires) out of the car and into your door, the best place is in the jam. the distance between the door and the jam when the door open is something like 70mm but when its closed is around 10mm, so your 70mm length of wire has to fold in half if both ends dont move. im suggesting that you allow one side to move backwards and forwards, so instead of folding over, it stays straight. either way, you still need to drill holes in the door to run the wires. unless you run the wires behind your door card, but that would look hideous and i would imagine will damage the card eventually. im doing a terrible job explaining myself
i kinda get it now. still havnt fitted it yet the car got painted tonight so looks like its tomorrows job then fit the car all back up. have you had any trouble with cutting out the locks on yours ari666?
yeah but like with the whole locking system. if the central locking screwed up you wouldnt be able to get in aye. just wondering because i might do it to mine in a few months
well at the moment i have still got the drivers side barrel lock in so if i have a flat battery i can still use a key. i have a solution if you wanna shave the handles but you will have to PM me, cos im not posting it online.
tonight started fitting actuators took ages. back doors were easy but spent hours on front doors trying to figure it out. ended up taking window out and putting it straight onto lock.
