Here everything just tossed in place...Still lots to do yet. But at least it looks complete again. No more hanging/exposed wiring - nice.

After all of that work.... The car is now the best it has ever been, mechanically, in my possession.

So how does the car repay my effort?

...By not starting and fouling the plugs instantly....Hmmmm.....That's never happened before..

Before video link - running with NO FUEL PUMP - haha! She had a bit too much to drink. No more fuel for you!

So after work today I decided to do a little diagnosing. Factory service manual to the rescue!

a few tests later...






Confirmed my ECU was at fault. Luckily I had a spare from the 82 parts car.

Swapped in the new ECU. Half turn of the key...


After video link

Thanks kind Sir!




Ah, I was unaware, good point. Too late now

Thanks, Mate!





Today I made the car earn its keep. It drove me to and from work without a hitch.








Got a chance to pop the T-Tops and finally utilize these really neat hooks that I had ZERO idea what they did until a couple days ago.

At first I thought: Tie holder? Obviously that didn't make sense.

OH! THAT'S where they go.






Keeps the wind out of your face. Works flawlessly, even at 80+mph.

Tip of the hat Nissan, that was clever.



Now it's the weekend baby! Time for my first sail of the season!

Gonna be chilly, but I need my fix man. *shakes*

Come on dawg.....

Hah! Yeah, I went mud bogging in the car on a test drive early this Spring.

I am actually going to detail the car today. Everything is so dirty.

The dash is freaking gross. haha
