More under dash fun.......new hvac controller is loosely mounted with correct hardware. Fits good now.

I finally have a FJ25. My buddy @rockcod found this on FB market place a few days ago and sent it to me. Well even with everything going on getting ready for Bonneville I couldn't pass the chance. So we made a deal over the phone and picked it up...

Nothing too picture worthy. Been working on wiring and dressing everything in place. Got the efi harness laid in.....not sure on its routing yet though.

Never been in this forum, but just read your entire thread on my lazy Sunday morning, fantastic documentation and work! Was anticipating seeing the finished product by the end of the thread :confused:....now I gotta subscribe to follow this to...

Lokar might have flexible trans dipstick 🤔🧐😉. They do for oil 😉

I think I can move the trans dip stick alittle and solve my issue. Thanks for the tip though. I cut the dash to accommodate the new center AC vent. It gets held in by the other trim pieces. It fits good so far.

Huge thanks to my friend Jay for helping out today. The hvac is mostly complete except mounting a few vents and the wiring. All hoses under hood are crimped and installed as well. We tested all the servos and blower motor as well. Progress...

Got the lines all trimmed down ready for crimping. Bummer is the one line and fitting is interfering with the transmission dip stick. The ac cannot move so, I'll have to figure out a solution for that. The white zip ties are only for mock up...

Got the hvac unit loosely mounted under the dash. The lines will come out the center of the firewall hole when the unit is lifted into the correct place. For now, it let's me figure out all the hoses. I will get them crimped tomorrow.

At the bottom of the Vehicle Tech Forums on the main page is one called other tech. Click on the that and the top vehicle is the Bandeirante. Would try there as well.

This should be illegal

Working on the hvac install. Not a fan of under the dash work, but it's gotta happen. Installed the cowl vent block off plates. It eliminates the driver side fresh air vent, but it works in my favor. The oem vent was broken.

Trial fit for the side scoops. They need some work with fitment but they will look cool when finished.

Got the fiberglass California Special rear spoiler and bits. Had to do an initial fit. Not horrible but will need some work. Definitely transforms the look of the coupe. I dig it. The weight is holding the lid closed. I also got the side scoops.

Hey Jack i bought the truck 13 years ago from your neighbor hood closer to Tucson off a large cattle ranch originally red when I got it drove it for awhile then decided to do what you see it has come a long way sense then.

Looks fantastic

I have one for sale. Pm me if interested.

Good tlhinking with coil bracket ❤️ it.

Fuel system plumbing is complete. I repurposed a coil mount into a fuel filter mount. Since I have the in tank fuel pump and regulator, it converts the setup into a dead head type. Capped one side of the Sniper and used a 90 on the inlet. Once...

Throttle linkage is fully operational. I used the factory gas pedal lever and connected the dots with heims and some threaded rod. Made a throttle return spring mount to hold the spring. Works like butter.

I was going to go that route, but early mini beds are hard to come here in AZ. I built my own bed mostly from scratch.

Those springs look legit.

He dropped it yesterday with a nice list of upgrades and service items I spent the day yesterday pulling a 3.70 out of a 60 axle I bought for this purpose a few months ago. Drums were hopelessly frozen so I had to cut the drums off. Not fun...

Removal was the easy part. The car came from Denver, CO. It was a Scotland Embassy car. Kinda cool. I kept the emblem. lol.
