Just about there.
I took my seats back out in order to add anchor points to my tunnel cover sections. I've now got the piece with the parking brake, and the piece with the shifter, riveted in. I will probably regret my decision to use rivets, but I'll deal with that when the time comes. While the seats were out, I also installed the lower three points of each of my 5-point harnesses, then I threw the seats back in.
I adjusted my shifter properly and now every gear engages just fine. The shifter takes some getting used to, but I think it's just about right.
Next up:
- Finish the third brake light wiring (still waiting on a new control box for my wing, but it's coming)
Cut my tunnel cover into three sections, de-burr the edges and touch up with my Ford metallic gray touch up paint
Finish the gearshift/shifter cables
Assemble the parking brake (the paint is drying on it now, forgot to paint it before)
Bleed the brakes and clutch
- Finish cutting my engine cover to fit around the turbo intercooler and piping, and de-burr the edges
- Sand the hood and engine cover lightly with 220 grit sandpaper, lay out my pattern with painter's tape, and spray
- Find and buy 5-point harnesses, and mount them
- Drill the holes for the side panels, wrap them, and mount them
- Final check for leaks, finishing touches, push-button start, send the BCM off to Odo-Pro for zeroing, etc etc.
Oh, and I almost forgot .... my first-drive video. Let the hatred from my neighbors (and calls to the local police) begin.
