#9 - 07119919629 - Intake Side Chain Guide bolt (updated style to work with new guide rail)

New alternator did the trick.
Battery light on when car turned to position 2 and not running:
Proper voltage and behavior otherwise too.
Starting to drive it more too. First tank of fresh premium gas:
Still has stock springs and so it is on the tall side.
Have about 50 miles on it now. Runs really well. Starts nearly instantly, smooth idle. Nice kick in power above 4k RPM. Feels planted and easy to drive. Haven't yet had an alignment, it drives straight but I'll have it done when I get it inspected for plates.
Right now we are going through the doors, had to fix the passenger door handle and while in there cleaned and lubed everything. Monday we hope to bring it to paint shop to get estimate on cosmetics. Waiting on new vinyl bolsters for drivers seat too.
Getting there!

Today my daughter and I are driving it to an auto body shop to get an estimate on paint. Should be fun. I have a few shops to talk with, want to start getting numbers. The bonfire of money is starting to give off less heat and so need to stoke it up a bit. ha ha ha On that note, am looking for a nice but drivers grade set of 15" basketweaves for it.
This week our floormats come in and also repair vinyl sections from zoomzoomzooming on ebay. Drivers seat bolsters are in need of work - passenger seat is great. I'll put photos up for folks to see.
Still need to install radio (need to repair it first) and today I swear I'll check if it has a chip in it.
PS I did ask for admin to move this to the build section b/c now it's more of a build blog. However, I haven't received a reply.

Question - if I want to bench test a CM5908 alpine, can I just connect speaker + and - to the speaker outputs? I've looked and cannot (yet) find an answer. Figured I'd check here..
EDIT: Never mind, common ground, + from the small pin on the radio, - to the radio chassis ground.

My car has in it premium speakers in rear and front. No sign of the original amp nor a harness for the amp. Feels like the wires at the radio in the dash are direct to the speakers. If so, then it won't work with the CM5908 as is. Time to do some line testing.

Car is getting new tires (205/60R14 Nankang), alignment and state inspection today. Huge step! Next will be license plates.
It's driving well. Which reminds me I still haven't looked if it is chipped. Was busy chasing lightbulbs, radio, and the SRS airbag light.
