Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects

I had a good weekend, worked on the car on Saturday for about 8 hrs. I co-located all of my gauges in the fabricated instrument cluster.


I’m going to cover up all of the old gauge location holes. I have not wired everything yet. About the wiring, I removed all of the unnecessary wiring that was just dead weight. I left all of the critical ECU functions and lighting wiring (headlights/parking, brake, turn signals, and reverse lights). I weighed everything after I was done removing it and it came up to 43 pounds!


I also picked up a 7/8” tandem master cylinder to remove the power brake booster too, I don’t know what the booster weighs, but if anything it will clear up the engine bay. I'm kicking around the idea of having the engine bay painted too, since almost everything has been removed.
