Jim, that was a great trade. Not only do they look better in black but they come with their own power and sensor harnesses.

S.F.A.! We all know what that means. The last two weeks have been uneventful
as I await cooling system parts. My suppliers are giving me the run-around with delivery dates.
That means the engine wont start this week.
Hope to have more progress pics of the PCM communication, and ignition eiring soon.
Here's to your build going smooth!

I have been concentrating on the front end this month. Last night I did most of the work on my DRLs. I plan to bond the brackets using 3M's 8115 adhesive. I am going to be using ISIS, so I labeling the leads and making sure they are out of the way for now.

I put mine in gear and went for a drive for breakfast, then instead of heading straight home, went east to the coastline. Mid 60's, perfect temp, very little traffic along the ocean. Such a fun car to drive!

Tino,
I apologize as I am just seeing this today.
Hard to see anything here outside of the the "818 SEMA Update WITH PICS!" thread. FFR's soon to be latest kit, has the potential to become their fasted moving (sales per time block) kit. Never have I seen a forum thread with almost 1200 replies and an approach on 90,000 views (and most of the action has been over the past ~2 weeks).
I am still in the air with the convex sides of the hatch glass. I worked/adjusted it until I acheived, what IMO what is, and outstanding overall fit. I used that picture angle to show what I could not adjust out because of the differences in the glass and the surrounding hatch area. You would have to be sitting down in order to see it at that angle and Its nearly perfect everywhere except for the convex portion of the glass on both sides.
I haven't decided yet if I will build it up to match the glass.

Moved the GTM out of it's old garage and into its new home. Only moved it about 50 feet but much more space to work with now. Started the new garage in July, and finished the floor coating about a week ago. Lift was installed last week. Already had a friend over for a front end repair and a tire rotation. I'm hoping this will mark a new resurgence in my time to work on the car. I need to catch up to Hugo!

Michael,
How did you even get that lift installed in there? It looks like the lift is right up against the ceiling. How did you get it to stand up? Looks great!
WOW! I like the new man cave. I think if I had that garage my Wife would even come out and visit me.

The GTM has four wheels. My cooling system parts are still not here. Tonight I'll upload some photos of exhaust, and a MAF sesnor.
Does this help?

Nice color!!!!!!
I have asked Hugo if i could copy his bezel that he put around the ISIS. He was nice enough to say yes so this is what I have done. I will fiber glass it at some time.

It can be said..... that it's not really a refraction of my image as much as a reflection of how much this car has captued my sole. Cheesy but that is the first thing I thought of when I looked at the pic on my phone.
lookin' good! i like the color also. won't be long now, congrats!
Finished up drilling the passenger foot box sheet metal and worked on the AC unit last night. Had to do some trimming on a couple panels and modify the AC mount a little bit to get it to fit well. Stayed up too late.... little tired this am. :-)
Paint looks pretty snazzy Fuzzy!!

I did not like my first attempt so I made another one. Also went to the upholster to ask a few more questions and looks like I will not be fiber glassing the main body.

Finalizing the driver's door to ensure I can take it apart and put it back together without issue. After talking to Mike (MikesPMS) on modding the doors to get the window glass to go down as far as possible, I fabbed this simple bracket.
The window now goes down as far as physically possible (which is about 5/8" from the top of window opening.) But the wiper conceals most of it.
The bracket tucks the top of the motor under the lower door frame bar. Haven't decided if I will rivet or weld it on yet.....
Thanks Mike.

Today I witnessed a miracle! My car secretly installed one spark plug from the pack of four, and fired up!
All of this without battery power, oil, or coolant! Not only are GTM's good looking, they are freaking smart too!

Plumbed the left side tank, and started the ignition wiring. Even took some time to re-string the tunnel area, and bundle up some wires.
Two days until the engine start test! I can almost hear that open exhaust idling ...

Trying to get all the fiber glassing completed before the real mess making starts.
I made a mold to cast a weather lip on the forward edge of my modified two part Gen 1 hatch.
It still needs to be cleaned up and fitted correctly but it is all starting to come together.
In addition to the rear hatch I grafted in a set of Shane’s rear vents.
Cheers,
Dave
