#335745 haha you got lots of bodywork to do though, shaving the bay and fixing all the rust so uve done alot 2 8)

Yea its running but had issues with CEL light staying on. pulled error codes 20 and 21, which is ELD and VTEC solenoid (need that for sure lol)

Vtec was my fault, i wired vtec to ALT control and vice versa on the jumper harness, did a switch on that wiring and that cleared that code.

ELD was a bit of a mission to find what the issue was. turns out i had to bypass this

Image

sorry not the best photo.. but i got told its for older obd0 and obd1 cars, to adjust timing.

so all CEL errors resolved

also had issues with the windscreen wipers not working but thats been fixed.

Now im having an issue with the passenger window going down but not back up, doesnt seem to get power to the motor, anyone have any ideas why? i can bridge the door motor to the battery to get it to go up. :x

havent even driven it yet, still getting all these issues sorted out lol.

Oh thats my buddies CNC milling machine, he helps me out!


@ K!RK_180i thanks dude! i cant wait either, i think its first drive will be this saturday .. to an exhaust shop haha

#335773 yeah I have done that vise versa wiring a few times, such a pain in the ass. lol

and the window motor may just have a relay gone for the up signal, try checking the relay.

and yeah a CNC Machine would definitely come in handy, I hope to have all the welding and get started on the bodywork sometime this weekend.

#335864 No hatch corners are smaller then the sedans, only similarity between the hatch and sedan front ends are the headlights :)

I can pick up those clear corners here for $70 new - but not sure what u'd pay for shipping from South Africa

I'm talking about the style. I realize that they won't work just wondering if they are the same style.

Yeah idk what the shipping would be either, unfortunately I'd hope that my daily would hold out, sadly it couldn't. So funds are gonna be tight, can you post a pic of them anyway if that's no to much trouble?

@ EG {FIVE-500} haha ok you going to send it to a panel beater? I was thinking of some bride seats or maybe something along the lines? i want to redo the door cards also

:thumb:

Took the car for its first drive saturday... was scary!!! :( first off, the DC2 brake booster i installed seems to be faulty, i have no assisted brakes (pedal doesnt move down when starting the car up) and 2nd the wheel alignment is super bad, I must do it asap, was bump steering and vibrating bad - so i drove slowly to get the exhaust done at my friends shop

fitted the seats friday evening, oem seats that i got with the car, i need something better eventually, these suck.
