I've actually inspected the threads, and thankfully the ones I could reach were all still intact.

The guy made the front and tranny mounts first and mounted it up, then welded the rear mount into place where it sat. Should point out that the front and tranny mounts are fabrications, where the rear mount is a factory style.

Why he did that, I have no idea... but it's a salvageable situation.

And since this is a secondary toy, I'll get a new subframe if push comes to shove.

I removed the rear seats and seat belts, and cleaned up some wiring, and will turn the whole back into a cargo hold of sorts. I've got some woodland camo netting that'll be here soon for the hold.

Also, my computer science senior design project for my graduation semester (finally!) is to create an OBD-I digital dashboard over the next few months. The plan is hardwiring the tach, TP, and a few other sensors into a harness, and plugging in an embedded system to work on a separate 7 inch screen.

Also might be adding the other woodland camo paint colors after it starts to cool off a little more.

Rain shots + gutted rear

By Leppy
- Tue Sep 22, 2015 3:35 am #356163 Time for an update. Here's what my two girls look like currently in a rainstorm!

Image

Pics of the rear seats removed with a rubber floor mat and two-color camo netting. Comes in handy this way, as it really opens up the rear to be used. Eventually I'll have some bug-out gear packed and some sort of canvas tent that can go over the back to turn the entire rear into a camp-out, kinda like a caranex tent.

It's very sturdy and secure. This is just a teaser shot, since I gotta trim off the extra silicone sealant when it dries tomorrow. Also found a windshield washer jug, pump, and nozzles at the junkyard and fit them so I can actually use my wipers. :)

Also, here are more pics of the roof rails. :)

Thanks! I lot of hard work went into this hatch, I'm genuinely proud of her despite it being a pain in the ass when I first got her.

Digital Dashboard

- Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:57 am #356595 My digital dashboard project is taking shape. Just gotta make a few more voltage dividers and graph some data, and I can begin coding it all up.
