Today so far I took the gauge cluster out and apart took the speedo apart and found my trip fell victim to the very common lost gear teeth so being a pro at rigging things and moving forward on a prayer I grabbed a tiny bit of my leftover quiksteel mixed it up and made a small rope the size of the missing teeth and put it in place nowhere near as clean as I hoped but awesome results with clumsy sausage fingers that go numb when they want to. Then I used the gear with the soft quiksteel to reset the trip imprinting the gear teeth with the correct pattern. Made sure the gear on the trip didn’t have any residue and gave it a few minutes to set up then I had to tackle my second problem. Seems the previous genius that had the car figured if he just pressed as hard as he could he could magically make it work. Which of course broke the plastic mounting points so a few minutes of cussing for it to sit right and some magical stinky rtv black “liquid duct tape” as I call it and it is now back together and setting up.
While it was all apart I also verified my title mileage is exempt and reset the odometer so I could keep track of oil changes and considering most of the parts and the drive train is new or rebuilt no need to worry about the 94k that it said before.
More tinkering to come once everything sets up and I put the cluster back together then I have to verify the polarity on my led bulbs since I didn’t know how to use my voltmeter to do it without an outside power source and I cleaned my garage and threw out all my extra wiring [emoji2357]
Now just gotta figure out how to get my door panels off so I can modify them.
