The car finally made it to Dan's house last weekend. We're going to get it sitting on a fresh drivetrain and get all the body work done before returning it to RalliTek for the engine installation and tuning. There's a LONG list of things to do. Here's a subset:
- Install new nuckles, brakes, and brake lines - install new wheels & driveline
- Run brake lines, e-brake, proportioning valve
- Paint rollcage (ie. black in windshield area and repaint white in some areas)
- Install dash & figure out heater ducting (need heater)
- Install windshield
- Remove various metal brackets, etc (weight savings)
- Install lock cores / ignition switch
- Fit seats/possibly install or decide to go with head-restraint seats
- Figure out plan for door cards or replacement & installation of door handles/window switches
- Tow hook plan (might be able to use stock)
- Plan dash/gauges/switches
- Plan battery mounting
- Install card to separate trunk from interior
(Plus about 250 other items)
Once at Dan's, we introduced the new service crew to the car. Liam, Ezra, and Michael thought the car was pretty cool. Michael even helped remove the old wheels- He's getting good with the electric impact wrench! I just hope he doesn't use it on my car when I'm not watching.
This is Hazel. Hazel is new. She's in training to be a rally service dog. The cone thing is to protect some stitches and to keep her ears glued down. It's times like this, I'm glad I'm not a dog.
