All this work on the XT6 but what about the Brat? lol
-
Bad @$$ find there. Looks to be in great shape.

Hah, nice job!!!

Or run a standalone circuit with a 12v relay operated by a switch. I did this for my Jeep when you put it into reverse the rear fogs would come on.
-
Can you not wire that into the highbeam circuit? We had to do that in the 3G WRX world with our fogs. They had a defeat for them. Looks great by the way. I am following so I can see what you end up doing with the wiring.

Uh, oh, that means some money I take it. Sending email. Thanks.

I am indeed. I never got around to getting the gas. Just .35" flux core from the Depot. Built a motorcycle with this setup, lol.

Well, it is 10 am here in Colorado so unless I am 21 again, no beer. Enough Coors and Miller and a few Guinness have been harmed during this build. Something about garages and working on cars makes the beer flow, lol.

Then I did the same treatment to the fender as the other, prime, undercoat, and voila! The fender looks perfect. The whole front end does now. But I then had to deal with what I knew to be a huge issue. The door hinges were severely bent and the new fender was rubbing. The gaps are way off as seen here. So off came the door to investigate. The hinge mounts are way bent. Can't really see it in the pic but you get the idea. Cool pic. Door is bent pretty badly too. So I worked with a sledge, popped this and that out and got the door almost back to where it needs to be. Was late so no pic.

Got some time to finish up the other fender last night. This one was not as "perfect" as the passenger's side. But I cannot complain I can just try and fix it. The edge of the fender up top near the window was rusted through. I could have left it but that isn't me. I thought about filling it and then welding it but the obvious was the old fender. So I cut them both up and welded a backing strip to both parts. I think it turned out great, almost perfect in fact. Then I did the Bondo thing which worked out cause I had two small dents I couldn't work out of the fender.

Close, thank you. I am referring to the hot for the sensor. The previous owner had that wired to a hot so it was always on. I removed that and am wondering if that is supposed to be part of the harness. Or rather, where does it get it's hot from in the harness? I want to make it stock so it does not always run.
-
Can anyone speak to what I quoted above about the temp sensor and the wiring please.
-
Just be sure not to go to far. I learned the hard way twice trying to get that extra 32nd of an inch.

We're Dave's in bad shape?

I have some single Treasure Hunt Hot Wheels that cost more than a sane person would pay so the EBay ones are not to bad. I am in for the hunt. That is what makes it fun. I'll keep lookin. -
Soooo do the swap when ya get an adaptor. Then you can enjoy her again.
-
Well a much as it might stink, please post pics of your swap job to the Weber. I am still learning that swap and if you get to experience it I personally would appreciate some pics, instructions. I really want a wagon now too.

Edit - I read about the mirrors and also where to find them, thanks. Jon
