Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer

Been a while since I've posted (again). I'll be posting a lot of pics. But the good news is after about 30 hours or so of fixing broken wires on my wiring harness I acquired and mating it to the chassis. It turns over, has a working stereo, primes the fuel pump, has working door locks and windows, has working turn signals/brake lights/etc. The STi HVAC controls even work! Hell even the clock on the dash works, even though that's getting replaced with an ATi gauge pod.

At any rate, after a very rough week of digging through 2 wiring diagrams it seems to have paid off. The wiring harness was soldered, heat shrinked, zip tied and then electrical taped on every wire I swapped/spliced. So it should be good for a long time

Anyway off to bed, tomorrow morning I'll get some gas in the tank to see if actually runs. If it does... expect to see it on the cruise as promised... game Blouses.

Also wanted to thank Spaz for his help, one of the few people that have made it out to lend a hand and he's been quite a bit of help. Thanks man!
