Working on Da Bird!

August 10, 2009, 01:13:10 AM

Well I've been at it again. Not all the way there but getting closer everyday. I was having some issues with her running while digging I found that some of the wiring was in piss pour shape and needed to be sorted out and taken care of. Don't want any car wiring fires or nasty things like that.
It used to look like this.

Then I got it pulled apart to this.

I go many things tended to. Missing insulation was a major issue. Thank GOD for heat shrink and double layers of that. Then I sorted every thing out by system it went to. It was a huge mess, as you all can see.

Now I've got it back to this.

Not done by a long shot need more Blue covering in bigger and of the sizes I used up already. Hoping to get things lined out tomorrow. Also I snapped one of the connectors off the end of the fuel line.

Guess better than going down the road. I barley touched it and SNAP! anyhow I'll post more as I get it done. Need to get her outside and wash that engine bay. That dust is horrible.

Thanks for looking

I so wish I had the time to do that. But if I end up doing that there is going to be new wire run to most places!

Looks awesome tho.
