Digging In

Posted on October 25, 2011 by in Dagger, In the Garage

Once I made it back to Boston and had a chance to really look at the s12′s condition, I decided it was time to start cleaning things up. A pile of excess parts had been plopped in the trunk that needed to be sorted out and either installed or tossed out.

The wiring harness was a huge concern. Components had been mounted willy-nilly (or not mounted at all, just floating around the engine bay). I was also concerned to find that everywhere I looked, I found new wires that had been (badly) spliced into the wiring harnesses. One at a time, I traced and removed these excess wires and cleaned up mounting locations, and every day the car became a little more lean.

I also took some time to add in new parts, like the dashboard from my previous s12. The car began to take shape, and things were looking up.

 

Stay tuned tomorrow for further updates.
