OK so now the work begins.
First job was to strip a few things and search for any of that dreaded rust.
Drivers side engine bay, all cleaned but no rust. |

Yes, I am treating the rust spot but next job was to remove the old immobiliser and start installing central locking with a new immobiliser.
Not to hard and heres the old immobiliser. |

Done the washer bottle check thing and all is good. Just removed the usual crap from under there.
LAT33 will be restored to stock apart from a couple of extra's like the central locking and immobilliser.
Colour will be stock "Cordoba Red" |

Whats the plan for this one Grant?
|
|
I am going to restore this one basically to comepletly stock apart from a couple of luxuries, like central door locking, decent speakers, etc. The wife will basically use it as a daily driver as long as she is careful or she will be banished!
So far I have stripped the car even further right down to removing the door handle/locks and pulling them apart for painting along with the boot lid, mirrors wiper blades and plastic surround things.
There are a few Car Park or shopping trolley dents/scratches (hardly noticeable) in the doors and guards whcich will all be repaired and repainted.
It will be all original colours.
As far as all of the upgrade bits I aquired watch the KOF33 album soon as she is about to grow some more muscles.
I will probably have some upgrade parts for sale in time that I wont be using but will posy them up when I make some final decisions. |

^1 Most alarm kits have outputs for central locking either to a locking kit module or you can just by the actuators from places like Jaycar Electronics and fit them yourself. I bought the lot from Jaycar.
The door actuators are a little tricky to fit as there is not much space in the door for them. I have done 3 cappo's now and have found that you need to mount the actuator at right angles to the door locking rod and make a right angle pivot point for the linkages in between. (See the pic above)
The boot one is easy to fit and it will be operated by a second button on the alarm kit remote and also has a button on the dash to release it from the cabin.
^2 This engine wont be stock. It will be rebuilt with a few tricky parts and put in my silver cappo KOF33. The motor from KOF33 will go in LAT33. |

With the weather being wet I managed to fit the rear and front sub frame along with the steering rack (new boots). |

The rain stopped and the humidity dropped so back to painting.
Here's an array of panels and various parts in the process.
Lesson number 1,000 - Don't renovate a bathroom with timber floors directly above where you are painting at the same time as the paint is drying or you have to start again. b*gger! |

Time for an update.
While waiting for paint to dry I decided to strip the motor ready to rebuild and found that the crank pulley's had been loose at some stage and flogged out the keyway and the end of the crank.
It had been bogged up with some sort of liquid metal stuff and without a bit of digging I may not have even found out.
I could get it rebuilt and remachined but have managed to source another one. |
