you can use a plastic welder that heats up staples and melts into the ABS.
I have noticed when you impact the ABS it will shatter a bit.

Wiring update yet?

 

[PabloCruise]

Just burned up a bunch of wires under the hood.

Electric guy needs to come back.

Lots of little things

Wins and losses that are soon gonna be wins. The roller coaster goes on. I can’t get off now!

WTF?!? I will read on for the latest...

 

[PabloCruise]

Got the Ebrake in.

Got all the door cards cut! Was using mdf and now I m using abs.
My 85 year old Mom helped file down the rough edges. ‘You work for me old lady!’
Naw just kidding. Told her to hurry up though! So great! She told me the better way to do it. Always seems to help me see the better way. Hahaha at least she thinks so. It is arguable.

Awesome! Jamming w/ Mom!!!

Wires are all done. I think.

Now concentrating on a number of noises in the clutch and transmition.

When I push the clutch in it sounds great. Nice and quiet. When, in neutral, I let the clutch out there is a noise that I don’t like. Hard to put words to it. It’s constant until I push in the clutch.

When I’m on the freeway. First time the other day, yeah! When I got up to 70 and eased off the accelerator gears in the transfer cases sounded as though they were loose would rumble around. Not a pleasant rumble.

Also took it to an engine guy and he fixed a whole bunch of stuff on the computer. So now the engine should be done!

Thing left:
Clutch / transmition sounds
Windows
No music yet
I think I might have to do more sound stuff.

 

[PabloCruise]

Endeavor to persevere!

 

[xtiaan2000]

This thing is a beast tho!
Very quick!
I though I used to get a ton of looks, but it is nothing like now!

Maybe I will get some chicks with it now, but as soon as they get in and ride in it I think they will not be as stoked.

But it will be too late then as they will already be in!!!!! Hahahahha

Music is unda da hood

 

[xtiaan2000]

Or from that crazy Tran/transfr cases!

Think I should not have gone with the 4-1 in the transfer, but perhaps when I those guys I will be stoked.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Think I should not have gone with the 4-1 in the transfe

I couldn't take the noise from the 4 to 1 low gears and replaced them with new stock gears. They are straight cut gears and will always be that loud.

P.S. I'm so much going to steal your engine cover idea, LOVE IT!

 

[xtiaan2000]

One of the things I really wanted was a more quiet ride. Not with thia set up! :/. Gotta get out and use it before I make decisions. I still have the old gears.

Scrapdaddy, are you happy with the sound level now?

Just dropped it off to the guy who did the work on the transmition and transfer case. Fingers crossed that he can do an easy fix!!!

Glass is half full!!!

 

[xtiaan2000]

Got an eye on this project

Thoughts?

Very happy, I can listen to every word my wife says all the way across the country.

Could maybe cut out around that indentation line and fit a thick washer in there and weld it in place. Kinda like the fix for the wallowed out door latches.
