Looking good! Sucks about that rust spot on the fender though :(
Meh, not so bad,
$15-20 at the local Pick-n-pull for a new one :-)
I have to paint the whole car yet anyway

From the fuel rail going through the Firewall

Down to the left under the insulation along the bottom of the door.
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/2... 19.49.02s.jpg
All secured all the way to the back, Used a small drill bit and self tapping skrews
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/2... 19.48.06s.jpg
Pops through under the rear passenger seat
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/2... 19.56.45s.jpg
I moved the fuel filter to the Gas Tank, I dont know why it's just not under the hood anymore lol
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/2... 20.37.24s.jpg
I had 3 extra fasteners, This is the positive power cord running on the passenger side of course :-) It's just sitting loose here no battery...
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/2... 20.37.18s.jpg
Temporarily ran like this I had lots of extra 2ga Power wire
So i'm basically done. I have more Rubberized sound dampener so that is what I'm going to finish today... put the wheels back on and go for a test drive
*Le Sigh*
So.... even tho the parts store sells rubberised fuel injection line it's not legal to have it as fuel line. Like WTF.
SO.... I need to put in the Steel line in, I didn't have this line originally becuase this car started life as a Carb model... so no fuel return line to the tank.
I wish I read this closer: https://www.3geez.com/forum/how/112-c...-injected.html
When I started this poor EXI was in good shape....
3 hours later.....
http://geminiwebhosting.ca/images2/oops.jpg
I had to pull: rear seat (most of it), driver seat, carpet on the driver side of the car, the dash, the heater core the steering colum, the pedals and thefirewall insulation
Like the orange color. Looks good. Think you need a new box for your blower. lol
haha the pitcure is of the car at the wrecker not my baby... mine actually looks worse some how at this second... But I'm off work now so.. .. here I go!
So, I got at her last night again,
Drilled a hole in my firewall for the new line,
Installed the steel fuel line and secured it all the way back
Re-installed the firewall insulation
Re-installed the Wiring harness
Re-installed the Blower Motor
Re-installed the Heater core
Re-installed the Duct between Blower and Heater Core,
Re-installed the steering column
Re-installed the Dash and Gauges
Re-installed the Pedal assembly
After all this I went to go test my brakes... no brake lights :-(
So, I went back a couple pages to my self done safety inspection and I found I had no brake lights then either...

Great Thread for Brake light troubleshooting. :-) Sticky?
I had the same issue, thanks to the above post I visually inspected my fuses and found bad ones,
The other issue however, my brake switch didn't have 4 pins mine had 2.
I think the difference is between cruise and non cruise,
I need the different switch for my brakes I just realized, off to the wrecker I go lol
**EDIT** I'm back and simply switching the switch on the brake pedal resolved this concern, Also the wiring at the bulbs was all rusty... cleaned it all up and I have brake lights again!
Over and over and over again I find usefull information on this site!! You all rock... Thanks again!
( I just found out that I forgot to grab the second ECU under the passenger seat of the EFi models )
Well, As it turns out I had the relay I needed but grabbed the grey ECU box... I think it's for the power locks? Anyway my harness is happy now with no dangling connectors lol
I got my car up to 190 degrees last night, the thermostat opened and I had flow, I was happy :-)
No fan running tho... and considering it's -15 to -10 C (5 to 15 F) right now I doubt it's going to get to the 220 degrees Fahrenheit needed for the fan to turn on.
I did the "Jump the temp sensor at the bottom of the Rad test" and my fans kicked on :-)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!
I may be ready for safety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
Dang lol keep running into snags found out my reverse lights are not working I have connected the two wires off the tranny to the Green/black and yellow at the automatic shifter location, still no reverse lights.
Going to grab a couple sensors from the wrecker tomorrow to check that.
Got some odds and ends today. Resolved my brakes issue for real this time haha feel like I run into every issue I can with this car. All in the learning I guess All Bulbs and wiring at the tail lights replaced and the 3rd brake light bulb replaced as well. No more warning light on the dash every time I hit the brakes :-)
The temp sensor on the top of the motor was rotted, replaced that today as well.
Here are my upgrades I cleaned them up using sandpaper and then toothpaste :-)

I dont have the right bumper at this point, some modification to the bumper needed to be done but they press fit into the bumper real nice :-)

^ TEMPORARY until after the inspection
Great work man! Glad you are getting this bad boy road worthy still. What all do you have left?
Going for a test drive this morning...but not much!!!!!!!! like... maybe ... oh i need to replace the lock on the driver door :-)
Yesterday I fixed my reverse lights, I was having the damndest time gettin gthem going after the swap.
I read https://www.3geez.com/forum/technical...s-mt-swap.html
and I put the wires together but again like other have said no power to the Switch.
I ended up running a wire from the tranny to the interior fuse box. From Fuse #2. This new wire is the yellow wire. I ran the other half of the switch directly to the wiring harness. In my case I spliced it into the harness right beside the drive seat.
Reverse lights work again!!.... spent ALL damn day on that one.
Yay! Pulled her out of the shop and ripped around the neighborhood for a bit darn thing never went above 180-190 degrees F Good I know :-) lol
No shifting issues, no issues with the cv's as far as I can tell.
I have an issue with my headlights intermittently not working on high beam very weird.
I relocated the battery BACK to the engine bay. Re-installed the battery try of course as well.
Tightened up the Front bumper and Bumper Cover.
Buttoned up all the dust shielding under that area as well.
Tidy'd up most of the wiring harness with electrical tape and Zap Straps.
once I figure out the headlight intermittency issue ... and maybe bleed my brakes...... I am pretty sure it's 100% time for safety!!
Headlights are still being intermittent, but most of the time they work... like 1 in 5 times the high beams don't work.
Tested my Hazards (forgot to last time) and they're also working..... Even tho they take a few seconds to activate.
I need to:
Get weather stripping for one of my doors,
Replace all the grommets on the firewall
repair a small bit of body work at the rear driver passenger door.
Just when I think i'm done it's like FU!! MORE WORK!! lol "ok ok ok soon enough I'll be done!
YAY FOR PROGRESS!!!!!!!!! atleast the list of work that needs to be done isnt to bad ! sounds like she will be back on the road in no time :)

So I took it for a test drive that day,
Battery light is on.....
Pulled the battery cable with car running and it died,
Altenator toast :-( Picked up a new alt today from the junker and replaced it, Test fire tonight when I get off work :-)
If the alt is fine and the headlights are working normally I Think I'm ready for safety...I think lol
