8302 progress

86NeSSP · #1 11-14-2006, 02:33 PM

At the current moment I am trying to get a hold of an engine harness to resuce the car from a short waiting to happen...

Also I am in the process of swapping out the cooling system to one that works a bit better than the current one. I am sure that the age is catching up with it and that is what is causing my warm runnings.

Steel wheels going for powder coating soon...

There someone on ebay that has your harness on from time to time. NOS, but $300. Pricey, but it depends on your level of detail.

Oh I know! I'm trying to talk the "BOSS" into letting me dip into the regular fund to get that... It is a aftermarket harness NOT OEM but this guy sourced all the OEM connectors and made a wiring JIG to remanufacture this harness... It is PLUG-N-PLAY though and it would be hard to tell this one from the OEM Ford item.

I will buy one from this guy SOON...

I got some more freebie stuff yesterday... I can't wait until the 87 Texas car has left the garage... I will waste no time getting that stuff swapped out for the RIGHT COLOR INTERIOR...

Pictures to come later as I have time to update on CHP-8302...

I will be sending the wheels out for powder coating once I have a job again.

Trying to get another set of wheels for the car right now. Then I need to get the diagrams for the equipment tray for the trunk so I can build that and then get all that installed along with the radio, CC1, scanner and shotgunrack!

Here's the cleaned up car. It's a little dirty now as it was washed and waxed over the weekend.

Looks good Matt, those tires seem to look undersized. Maybe it's the angle of the pic. You always seem to make the most progress when working on a car.

Why did I sell that again????

Looks sharp. We still need to get together on the shotgun rack (and the other stuff, too).

They are undersized but I am driving this car daily for a little bit and I needed tires and a friend had a set of 195-60-15 for free. After mounting it cost me $30.00 for the set of 90% tread tires. I am getting a new set as soon as the 86 gets home. It needs tires too and it will be the daily while I finish up the CHP and then I will do a fabulous repair on the 86 to remove the damage it currently is sporting.

Because you wanted the one that started it all (Its green and an 82), that's why. Plus I'm a good guy and wanted a foureyed SSP.

Now I will have 2 and this one will get done RIGHT!

Yes, we need to get together sometime and get the shotgun rack squared away. I need to make sure that it is as right as possible so we can get a template together for the restoration doc. I do also need to get the rest of the other items from you as well.
