What did you do with those cruise control wires? I wouldve bought them
-------------------- QUOTE (Azncelica @ Mar 4, 2012 - 11:43 PM)  I started with what I know to do, I swap engine into my car, I knew it was too much work to make it a AWD. I kept it FWD. Went to take a crack at doing the wiring conversion. Than, I realize, shoot, this is out of my league. |

That looks amazing man. I tried to paint a subframe as well but made the mistake of using por 15 in roll-on form. Next time I'll just use the eastwood stuff

With the 7gc e-brake, was it modifying the plastic trim on it to get it to work or did you have to do more?

I was looking at some 5th gens earlier and it seemed their handbrake was shorter as well. I guess for whatever reason they decided the 6th gen's should be ginormous.

i did not take pics of the process, i figured no one would be interested. Significant amount of welding is required...
I extended the tube that holds the screw, and the curve at the bottome that holds the cable. also had to modify both legs, extend on peg by 1 cm, and completely move a leg. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...
