Progress Thread Snow - 93 GT Vert. Prepping for sale

[JAA]

Man, not only is the cable rusted, but the entire arm is also. I can move it by hand but it’s a bitch. What’s the saying about going down a fox hole? Or is it a rabbit hole? Sure feels like a fox hole ...

 

[JAA]

WTF are these? They are sacially Beijing the door frame trim

Ha, sorry. The little gray screw. It it behind the door trim. Not on any drawings or videos. I’m wondering since this vehicle interior was replaced from white to gray it was done after the fact. It was really annoying to get to.

Both of mine have the same screw, take the kick panel off makes it easy to get at

Weird. Yea, that’s what I did but it wasn’t included in the documentation.

 

[JAA]

Ok, thank god I was wrong about the door arm. Only the cable is rusted. Once I remove from the arm the arm moves freely. Pretty annoying to get in there. I am hesitant to remove the steering wheel.



Next question, how do I remove the cable from the mount?



I don’t want this to happen ...

 

[JAA]

I guess this is how

 

[JAA]

Now I just need to figure out the name of this so I can buy a new one.


anything else I should be getting to while o have the dash /half/ off? I know I need to fix the hood release cable tightness.

2 questions

Where does the black one go? Either I accidentally pulled it off or it was already off.



Am I missing a line here? I’ll go look at the schematics now, but it seems one is missing

 

[JAA]

Schematic shows only 5 on the function selector.



The backside of this connector looks to be a 1:1 with the other colors so I just hooked it up symmetrical

 

[JAA]

Not having cup holders really makes it tough to work under the dash and drink beer.

 

[JAA]

OK, this is what I need to buy

Very nice progress!

Very nice progress!

Thanks for the kind words. Considering I have no idea what I’m doing, I’m going to take it as a compliment!

To be installed

Control cable and actuators


Fuel kill switch


Initial LED purchase to see how it goes, only 5 of them to check things out

 

[JAA]

Control cable installed, not the hard part.

This will be the hard part

That;s an original screw, although it shouldn't be gray. Looks like your dash was painted or someone painted the screw head to match
