I jumped back on to trying to remove the front facia.
I popped the grill off. I really had to yard on it to get it off....

Well, drilling the heads off didn't work as well as I had hoped. I had to drill at an angle so the holes didn't stay centered.
There's no room to get in there with anything else so I think I'll...

Next up....trying to remove these rivnuts. I used a automatic punch to center punch the bolt heads. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240428/2eb59c34275dd979e8232897271fcae9.jpg...

I decided that I am not reinstalling the cheesy OEM hanging straps for the wiring harness that feeds the rear facia. I installed rivnuts in the stock holes. ...

Tam worked on cleaning parts and wire wheeling the steering shaft. I marked the depth of the steering shaft splines insertion before I gave it to her. Not sure if this is an important reference or...

Yeah I will come up with something. Maybe the oem boot.

I installed the new positive cable that runs from the alternator to the starter. This cable also came with my new engine harness from D-Ind....

I installed my new jump start post. I got lucky and found some nice CAD plated Allen head bolts in my shop stock....

It is important to have a water spray bottle in arms reach when grinding off fasteners in the body. Otherwise you can end up melting the area around the rivnut. ...

We worked on the Delorean for 5 hours today. Oh some good news, the Miata is running! We let it sit outdoors for a couple days and after wiggling the plug wires around it fired up. Drove it several...

Well..not to be a negative Nancy but we decided to get the Miata out as a little morale booster and now that has issues. We stored it in a shipping container on our property this year and because the...

Interesting thought. I restored a 1970 BMW motorcycle during Covid. It was similar to this project in a lot of ways. I bought it because it was cheap. Originally, I was just going to fix bare minimum...

We worked on the car for a couple hours yesterday. Mostly we just switched around the refrigerant lines at the compressor so the are pointing in the correct direction. ...

This is something else I have been going back and forth with in my mind.
It's something that is only going to get used once or twice (hopefully) but it costs a lot for what it is and how often it...

I am just finding out about adding more grounds, moving ground locations, adding new positive wires etc.
What are people's thoughts on this? Is it really necessary? I'm seeing videos of guys running...

I think it would be better if mine had 90s on both ends. Not sure why Josh changed the design. Maybe so it could be fished through with the body on the car?
So are you saying that I should have the...

Thanks for the advice.
I did make sure I tightened those down quite a bit. I do worry about being able to get to those if they leak and I really wish they were one continuous line without the...

Today I did a video of the frame. Anyone see anything that I need to change before the body goes on?

Wow that is awesome! Ironically I have been looking at old military vehicles in my "spare time" I have wanted a unimog, pinzgusser, or something for years. PM me.the info on that rig if you don't...

Geesh yeah that little job blew up into quite a project!

Tam was out for a run (as usual) while I was working on the blocking under the car. She showed up after I was finished, which was probably for the best.
We switched to working on the frame and just...

Dispite my post, yesterday we did manage to work on the car some. During the work day i was near Lowes so I bought two new 4x4X10' timbers. I spent a lot of time and energy sorting through what they...

Thanks for the kind words and advice everyone. I greatly appreciate it. We took tonight off, did a 30 minute workout at home, ate dinner, then watch a movie together..Shrek believe it or not haha!...

Confession time. The wife and I have been working on this car for 2-1/2 years now and we are getting weary.
In running they have a term called "Bonk" or "Bonking". It is when a runner is running a...
