Got the clutch on, loc-tit'd and torqued.







Got a snap-on torque wrench. LOVE IT

Ah yes, the blue flywheel of death.

It torqued fine and I didn't scratch anything. Still looks sketch though.

Lol zipties are so ghetto, just put a transmission bolt in one of the transmission holes, and use a wrench between the transmission bolt and one of the pressure plate bolts to stop the engine from spinning.

Did a little bit of work on the car but need to get into the office and do some work and get paid!



Removing the rear main seal.












Slide hammer'd it out.







New rear main installed. I put a thin layer of black RTV sealant on the outside and some oil on the inside.









All torqued down to 80ft/lbs per UUC instructions.

This is what I need a part number for. Just the electrical part of the handle that bolts to the mechanism via a 10mm nut.

Started on the divers door wiring. Didn't take too many pics but I sorted out the interior light wiring and now both interior lights work when the door opens!! Ah, the little things. The PO had pulled the 30amp fuse 27.

I still would like the exterior handle to trigger the interior lights prior to entry but I am having trouble finding a picture of how the mechanism works inside the door and if I'm missing a striker(?) piece, that would close the connection triggering the interior light timing control, which I think I am.

I combed through the wiring schematics and tracked down the C503 connector and bypassed that by crimping the BR/GN wires together and the BR ones the like. The pics I have are of how the PO had them after I unwrapped of what seemed to be 2 feet of electrical tape.




The C503 connector has three wires coming from the chassis to the connector the RD/BLK is there but isn't used.




That is where the PO had a short or didn't know what he was doing and this happened.

Fire, Fire!!

Attending to the drivers lock.


This might be a problem.








All done!

[DrLeadFoot]

Got the new door latch installed.


New gates, springs, cleaned and lubed lock cylinder.


Locked in.


Good to go!


Duct taped up the holes.


Now just need to install these actuators to trouble shoot my central locking system.

Pulled the pilot bearing and did some passenger door work.







Before:


After:


Got some things powder coated:






Test fitting the puller:


Got me a Marlin!


New bearing installed.

[DrLeadFoot]

Some pics of the drag wing I had made.
















I also got around to the ZF trans and did the shift pins and the 5th and reverse pins.







This didn't go as expected.

Doing the zf swap with a 2.79lsd, UUC twin disk, uuc Evo 3 shifter and royal purple fluids.

Made the 2015 Condor Speed Shop Calendar!!

Do you have a picture of how you routed the intake to intercooler pipes?

There should be some pics on my Instagram account @DrLeadFoot
