(Chuck) Last night continued the moving of the wiring harness. This led me down the path of removal of the dash. The gauge cluster will have to be re-bracketed down, and a panel should get made for various switches (headlight, windshield wipers, HVAC). The relay panel will need to be fastened down more securely, by [...]
Keith sold the catalytic converter from the car for $50 for platinum recovery. Back in the budget toward our $500 limit.
(Chuck) After a relaxing weekend, it’s back to work (or really not work, more like fun)
Martin and I ended up going to the shop and working on the car. We finished the tune up, removed the trailer hitch, cut off the exhaust, removed the horns, took off the exterior trim, and took off the bumper covers. We found the rear bumper to be rotted off of the mount…need to fix [...]

An interior-ectomy and a condenser-ectomy were completed, and an A/C compressor-ectomy is in process. Our resident Neurosurgeon, Chuck, started working on the patient’s wiring. At the end of the night, we ended up with an automotive biohazard tray [...]

(Chuck) Today at lunch I took out the back seat and the headliner of the car. Headliner was already drooping and was moldy and rather smelly. Found $0.12, which will go into the general fund.
We have a team. We have a car. We have 3 race suits and one helmet. And we have a theme: Lego.
