Nice build!

Noticed your rear brake rotors, are they dixels and does the handbrake work?

[shawley]

Ummm I can't remember what rear rotors they are as I got them a couple years ago, but yes the hand brake does work no problem but I have project Mu e-brake pads

Yesterday spent lots of time on the car, my buddy came to help finish the fenders while I did wiring.

I wired up the blower motor for the heater fan with a relay, wired up my 4way hazzard lights with a couple relays, got my lines run to switch on my police strobe kit, have aux switch for an extra switch, wired up my gauges, and my power windows.



Wired up the back of the dash panel all nice and clean



Repinned a couple harnesses to make it easy to take apart



And mounted it to my cars dash



Now just waiting on my Clarion NX602 deck to put in there, yes I'm putting a double din Navigation unit in there, you ask Why???? I say Why not???

All I have to do to finish this stuff up is a couple relay switched power sources for my windows and strobes.

And I have four front Whelen strobes, and two rear Whelen strobes for my car, white with the full police kit. Should be pretty sick once wired up.

What a long weekend, we had our Car Audio Gone Wild sale, one of Canada's largest car audio sales if not the largest, involved 18 hour days of set up, sales, and tear down haha.

But before it I got the fenders pulled, the wheels on, and the kit ready to go.



Yes I did not too good of a job with the fenders



Dropped off for paint! and of course body work while I was at the sale working, friend dropped it off Sat at 9am, and I picked up Sunday at 8pm





Then trailered home, he just did the car not the bumpers yet, they will get done in two weeks!





More updates coming

Anyways now that it's back from paint, I dropped the kit and stuff off to get painted last night, and got my power steering lines made up, so they are good to go now!!



And decided to try that Coors Light Ice Tea beer, it was nice out yesterday, and worked away on some fuel fittings



This was my first time using this type of lines and making them up, so we'll see if they leak or not when i'm done haha



Fuel pressure reg



Still needs some heat wrap on there



More work to do this weekend, had a bit of an issue with my power window wiring at the painter when I jumpered the wires to roll down, and have some trouble shooting to do there, good thing it is a complete seprate wire harness from the Painless kit, will be easier to troubleshoot

[shawley]

Well I got my heater lines hooked up, and I cleaned up my O2 sensor wiring, and heat wrapped that along with my fuel lines



Took off the front suspension so I could install the extended lower control arms, new knuckles (front left was bent), and the tie rods



Modified knuckles



Installed



After





Picked up my kit that was painted too! He did an awesome job!

Last week my room mate moved out and down to Calgary with his project GT Car GTO, gonna suck not having that money come in, but I have another room mate and the garage space will be great!





Picked up some ARP IS300 wheel studs for extended studs on the front and rear, only got the front ones in so far





And then today and this weekend, what a post to make for today!! For you non Canadians, this was a long weekend with a holiday monday for us, so most people are spending it getting drunk 3 nights in a row and boating or camping.

Well Saturday I spent all day working on the Chaser, getting my battery in and a bunch of other little things, then took off to a buddies lake around 6pm, had a good night out there, then a day at the lake. Thanks to Kinetik for this awesome HC1800 power cell for my car.



Then to my Monday where I started early on the car, got the mirrors/door handles put back in, and checked over lots of other things, wired up the alternator along with the resistor needed for just the GTO alternators. After this I checked all my painless wiring, and it is almost 100% good to go, couple small things with the signals/4ways other than that all good, my brake lights, heater, headlights, wipers everything works!



Then monday night after checking the fuel system for no leaks, my buddys Matt and Jay figured we should just try to start it up since pretty well everything was a go



And since my phone corupted the video after uploading it, you have to go to facebook to see the video below! It started no issues!!!
