    Thanks!

    More stuff making its way back on. 3B wiring harness and what’s left of the 7A wiring harness, coil, bomb, washer tank, hydraulic fluid reservoir, new hood release cable.

    Made a bracket for and mounted my fan resistor pack. Also got most of the fan wiring done.

    I also attempted to make a set of rubber flaps that go in the fender well around the tie rods. I think they turned out okay.

    It's nice to be putting parts back on the car for a change. I bench bled and installed the new master cylinder, connected the hardlines, ABS pump, booster, rack, stabilizer, and tie rods. Also spent way too long fumbling with the battery cable grommet.

    Since I am switching to an evap canister that goes in the fender, I’m trying to figure out where to cut the fuel tank vent line that goes to the evap canister. I think I might just cut it right above the firewall bracket that used to sit below the battery tray (like was suggested on another forum) and run a rubber fuel hose to the evap.

    Yes, I guess I should have pulled the trigger way back when.

    Just seen your battery in the boot, is that black polystyrene looking stuff a standard item?

    I've never had one if so...
    Yes, that’s an OEM piece that is under the carpet.

    Couple updates...

    Cleaned up some rust on the door sills. There used to be a guy on here that sold carbon fiber sills. Anyone know if that’s still an option?



    Put a fresh coat of pain on the engine bay. Ready to start reassembly.

    Just a few updates. The 7A and 200 3B harnesses are 90% merged, just have a few splices to make in the car.

    Engine is out...again. This time with the transmission. So, it’ll get a good cleaning. Working on the engine bay now to prep it for paint.



    Battery tray is out and the wiring and new battery are in.

    Work had been keeping busy and out of town a lot in late 2020, but I have managed to spend some time on this project. Cleaned up the carpets. It’s not perfect, but much better than before. Rust stains are tough to get out.









    It feels like I went 10 rounds with it, but the 7A harness has been removed. Could have used a couple more hands.



    The "new" harness i have is from a 200 3B and I see a lot of people have routed their 3B harness through the hole for the AC lines due to how the 3B harness is built. However, I intend to keep AC and am considering cutting a new hole in the firewall somewhere on the passenger side (with a firewall grommet). I'd rather do this then have a bunch of wires that are either too long or too short. Plus, the driver's side area under the dash doesn't need any more wiring than it already has. Unless someone on here has an S2 3B harness they want get rid of.

    Thanks. Definitely not. I never tried the dry ice trick, because the heat gun and scraper worked pretty well for me. I figure the floor pan issue set me back a couple months (I work slow and don’t get as much shop time as I’d like).
