Now to check out that front clip.
she fits with a little trimming.
The whole reason for the firewall recess was I wanted to run a mechanical fan.
Time to plumb the coolant/brakes ( s-10 Master cylinder and swing pedal assembly ) rewire the whole car.
summit racing radiator with s-10 fan and shroud
The dash was rusted completely out
I added 4inches to the trans tunnel to clear the turbo 400. and im still able to remove the access panel for the trans.
I reused the factory column and wheel I removed the shifter and smoothed the dash
Gauges mounted in dash and tach on the column
After wiring and topping off fluids it was time, to turn the key.
Shes alive!
time to take her outside.
she is far from road ready, but I had to drive her around the block a few times.
Oh and the money shot, you might have been waiting for.
Now to go back over everything and get her road ready.
And that's were we are today, still along way to go, but she is very sound, I have been driving her for almost a year now, I have a lot more plans in the future.
Godspeed
