I will take final pics today after I get the two 9mm spacers I ordered for the back end. After a slight snafu picking the wrong tires, what I have now match the stock diameter/width pretty well despite being 18s and the stance is not overly aggressive (right at the fender line). I will either tackle the brakes (specifically the pedal assembly -> brake master cylinder -> stock lines AND/OR the shocks (QA1 coilovers) next while I wait for parts from the EV supplier (electricgt). Finally, I started looking at more components to buy. I'll throw the list up here along with pics and will likely put some up on eBay as well. Finally, I started assembling my list of parts available for sale and will post them after the holidays. I confirmed the bottom two were for the catalytic converter control module they were also the endpoints of the two steel braided wires I found in the engine bay (they went to thermocouples). Next, I decided to unbolt the panel protecting some electronic modules in the passenger footwell. This was easy enough to remove once I drilled out two rivets holding a small composite panel on the left side of the driver's footwell. I also found that the vacuum line running from the brake booster goes into the cabin, down to the wall of the driver's side footwell, and back along the side next to the wiring harness. If not, I may just redo the work properly. I'll list the components with the other take-off parts whenever I list what I have for sale if anyone is interested in "period correct" stereo equipment. Pretty terrible so I gutted it all and I'll do it over again if necessary. ![]() ![]() I found nothing short of 5 crimp on connectors between one splice into the factory harness and one of these modules. While I might have kept that in, the wiring looks like it was done by someone who had never heard of a soldering iron or heatshrink tubing. While the 1DIN receiver is a nothing-special JBL/JVC/whatever that is modern enough to have BT support, I was surprised to find two "old school" RoDEK 435i 150W amp 4ch stereo amps and a 2/3 way Rodek RX300 crossover just to deal with 2 speakers and 2 tweeters. and then paid someone to booger up the install. Some previous owner really liked their stereo equipment. I did the same with the powered antenna control wires that were run on the passenger side. I left it in place just in case I decided to repurpose the wires for the EV stuff as the wires are already run front to back. The only stuff that's unnecessary for the EV conversion that remains on the car is the engine wiring harness from the driver's side of the engine bay and leading towards the dash, fuse box, and center console area.
