Update,
I decided since I have the engine out again to get long tube headers...let me tell you how much of a PITA that was...then putting the oil dipstick tube back in was just as ridiculous. I ended up heating the oil tube up and bending it slightly to fit.
I used the windshield wiper motor from the 03 mach 1. I had to drill some mounting holes and enlarge the area for the drive of the motor. doesn't look to bad and it works.
I did rewire the lights. The front of the car was wired fairly easy. High/Low beam, turn signals and fog lights. The rear is a little more tricky. The only thing that has to be done is to extend the wires, they are too short and will not reach the tail lights. The only other wiring I have left is the doors, and hook up speakers.
The interior was another issue. I wont get into details on how I destroyed one door, but needless to say, I bought two new doors and I'm in the process of getting the sn95 door skins attached. Thanks to the other member that posted the how to on that...
I have kept up with the body work when I'm not messing with everything else. I cut the corner parts off the rear fender and fiberglassed it to follow the main body lines. ( I'm not using the body molding and have filled in the indention all around) I will see how the rear bumper turns out before I cut the rare 86 gt front fender. I've primered the car since. I bought all new glass, except the quarter windows (they are used 87-93)
I have started putting together the cat back exhaust. Since I have plenty of exhaust tubing left over from two cars. Its very interesting and fun mocking this up, especially around the IRS rearend.
I will be rebuilding the pistons on both front and rear brakes when I get back in. I am also going to try and make my own ram air intake. Similar to JLTs intake. I bought one for my 04 gt and realized real quick that it is just pvc.
