Is not a very rewarding process when you spend 40+ hours to remove 11lbs (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Anyway, I didn't take pictures all the way through the project but I did take a few. I didn't accomplish a ton of work over the last couple weeks, but at least most of the tedious work is done for a while.

Have to put a couple rivets in the firewall cover down by the trans tunnel, get a new set of plug wires [old one came apart in my hands, had to borrow the one off my buddy's Bronco to test], and put the dash back in. Then it's time to break out the welder and fix some holes in the floor.

Don't laugh at how many colors she is right now... because I'm about to put on red doors and blue fenders (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

She's in the process of getting a new fender, pair of doors, and a bumper.

The new driver's side door is gutted and just needs to be hit with a DA. The passenger side needs to have a window-ectomy yet, but the driver's side only took me an hour.

It's amazing to see the difference between the crash bar in the '86 doors I'm putting on and the factory '90 doors that are coming off. The bar in the older doors easily weighs twice as much and is over twice as large. I'll see if I can get some pics later.

Oh, BTW, the wiring is completely done and the wipers work! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
