Been picking away. Cleaned up a bunch of shoddy wiring. Got fans wired and sucking. Got it fired back up to verify all the wiring changes didn't effect anything. Running good with the new IAC and throttle body. Fans drop the temp 15* in under 30 seconds once kicked on.
Pulled the header and cleaned it up, then shot with some VHT ceramic paint.
Had to hack up the battery hold down to fit the Odyssey. No matter what they say, their 34R doesnt fit in an optima 34R mount.
Got the swing arm pivots final welded. installed arms and brakes today. Ignore the missing hardware. McMaster is slacking and took almost 20 minutes to ship my order this morning.
Clamped on some better looking mirrors...

Spent yesterday sweating, swearing and all around just fighting the torsion bars to get ride height where I wanted it and level side to side. What a clusterfuck. Ended up chaining the chassis down to the floor via the anchors on my lift. Blocked the chassis off the ground just enough that I could get one bolt into the arm/spring plate then jacking up against the chains.

Was hoping the spare, a full tank of fuel and passengers would bring the tail down but i don't think its going to do it now. :( Not looking forward to re-indexing the torsion bars.

Coilovers sound better.Torsion adjusters are sounding pretty good now aren't they.
TrueCoilovers sound better.

HAM unit is in. With the faceplate mounted remote the top of the radio was too open to the elements for my liking. Slapped together a little 3d printed cover for it.

Wirings done. Seats and harnesses are in. 
Nothing getting done this weekend but by the end of next week we should be driving again finally.

What radio is that? Did you design the cover or just download the file?

Icom 2370A I designed it. It needs some tweaking but it's good enough that I'm not likely to mess with it. I can share it if you want.

I have an Icom 7000 that a cover could come in handy for. I assume it's different.

Take a pic of the face of the main unit.

This isn't my picture, but the same radio. It's an HF plus VHF/UHF mobile with a detachable face. I can get a pic of the radio with out the face attached when I get home.

yeah I googled it. Can find a pic without the face. But it looks fatter. Not likely the same.This isn't my picture, but the same radio. It's an HF plus VHF/UHF mobile with a detachable face. I can get a pic of the radio with out the face attached when I get home.
Was a fairly easy project though. Whip one up!

I'm sure it's not the same. This is way down on the project list

Holy shit I found a whole car under the pile of crap that has amassed over the last year.

Hard lines built (I even remembered the fittings all 4 times! ), master cyl reservoir replaced, brakes bled.
Radio install finished up.
Still on track to be driving this weekend.

Been awhile since it's been in the daylight! Cruised down the road a bit. Initial impression is that it's way less squirrelly with all the wheels pointing the same direction. Gonna head to town later on for a tank of fuel and real test drive.
