Thanks! I plan to spend all day sunday in the shop. I'll have some new pics up tomorrow. It's time to tackle the wiring. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) I got the main harness (behind the dash) in place. I routed it through the stock holes, I just had to make them bigger. It worked out great that the stock Miata rubber boots just snapped into place! DRIVERS SIDE: PASSENGER SIDE: IT IS ALL DONE UNDER THE HOOD. THE ONE WIRE NEAR THE BRAKE MASTER THAT IS NOT PLUGGED IN IS FOR THE MASS-AIR-FLOW-METER. FUSE BLOCK: DIAGNOSIS ACCESS PORT: Edited August 31, 2009 by Bob3 Quote Link to comment

Jester Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 As usual Bob.....Nice work!! Is the color in the engine bay the finall color? Quote Link to comment
Madness Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I don't think bob is going to leave those welds like they are ;) after this plumbing right? Which fuel is almost done so not to much longer before its making a lap around ppir. :D Quote Link to comment
2dat0z9 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 nice,:thumbsup: nice &:thumbsup: NICE Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 As usual Bob.....Nice work!! Is the color in the engine bay the finall color? No, that's just primer. Madness is on the money. I plan to get it done and do some testing. Then, once I'm sure that I don't need to add or change anything, I'll take it all the way apart. I plan to have the frame sand-blasted and powder-coated. I will grind down those welds in the engine bay. Then do body work and paint. I think I'm going back with the stock green color. What do you think? Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 +1 for stock green Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I think I'm going back with the stock green color. What do you think? +1 for stock green X2 Quote Link to comment

denveratsun Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 x4 for the green....only with something a little different to set it off. Off-White roof, or metal-flake roof, or tan roof...tan rims...or two tone body, or black roof:cool:, black body line, but for sure pinstripes:cool: (Madness?:D)... It's gonna be awesome man! Hope to see it in person really soon... Next month is the last Golden Super Cruise of the year. Last night there were well over 1000 cars there from what I could tell. The little Datsun got tons of thumbs ups and several really great comments from people that were clearly impressed with it. I would love to see what they would say about yours man!:cool: We should at least meet and you could bring your KC up...During the summer, first Saturday of the month...the cruise starts at the top of the hill in Golden...at the Sonic/King Soopers and goes all the way to old downtown and back...cars all the way...both sides!:blink: and filling the street. Have a good one Bob.:) Quote Link to comment
