    Washed it and cleaned the wheels with that lug nut brush. Huge difference. Looks great and ready to drive again!

    Finally welded in an additional O2 bung before the Cat so I can begin to wire up my Wideband O2, yet another step in the EFi swap.

    Spend the whole day working on recovering the drivers seat with the heating and cooling mods now in place. About 1-2 hours of work tomorrow and it will be complete. Then the drivers and passenger seats can finally go back into their proper positions and anyone can try them out at the DMCMW open house on Saturday.

    Pictures tomorrow.

    Yesterday I made the first long trip in my car since finishing the rebuild... I'm happy to report that I made the 70 mile journey to my new house with no issues. The temp gauge never made it past the first tick mark on the dial so the new aluminum reproduction radiator from DMCH seems to be doing its job very well.

    The A/C is offically dead though which made for a bit of a warm trip. The service records of the PO show that a can or two of R12 was added every couple of years to keep the system charged. I've been reading up on a few other threads here about R134a conversion. If I can find the source of the leak and can patch it up I may just stick with R12. Not sure what to do at this point yet.

    I installed the diodes in the courtesy light circuit. It still doesn't behave correctly.

    I cleaned and organized the garage and covered the car. Time to study some schematics -- I may have to remove Dave McKeen's new courtesy light delay module and return the socket wiring to stock configuration.

    A discouraging afternoon.

    Would you happen to have a reference photograph for this?

    Actual snippet of a conversation from Sept 2013:

    Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.

    Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....

    It won't work with those switching regulator LEDs that superbright is selling. Just jumper my unit out and test if all is working as expected first. Then we can get the new dome unit working.

    Dave, I actually just sent you a message about that. I think it may have to do with the fact that my glove compartment is not installed...

    If I recall correctly, there is some kind of "fix" for bringing back the "auto turn off after 10 seconds" feature for the newer domelights sold by the vendors. I figured that's what you were referring to? Maybe I was wrong... D: ?
