Andrew, this is how i think they will go, they were a gift from a fellow forum member for my b-day


ok well i ordered 2 new struts+shocks, wipers, and a new part of the starter (just that solinoid part) from rockauto so we'll see what i can do once that arrives... (then i can try to do the coil overs as well...)

i also received the OPSU connector!!! thanks!!! its snowing out right now we are going to Buffalo for easter to visit family, but i will be working as hard as i can when we return! but untill we leave im bringing interior peices in the house to restore/paint them

and returned just got done playing with my Wii

this is what i did tonight (yea not much, but mainly a test peice)

i still need the other 2 light covers that go on there... a new center console, and a radio surround bezel.. (as long as bezel is in one peice its kool, im gonna get something to put on it..)
I love the way it turned out, looks like it came that way! gonna do alot of the rest of the interior like that, i hate greys/browns..

as for the starter thing.. like i said i bought a new peice, i also noticed 2 grounds near there arent connected, i haveta look through my pics to see if i can find where they go, but maybe thatll help...?

started attacking the starter today, but hell hath no fury like a rusty, stripped bolt. I NEED to know where those 2 wires go..?


Door panel off


the mechanism with the hole in it seems like its disconnected from the other part that holds it closed.. i still have no idea what to do here

I thought you meant you had a stripped 15mm head on one of the bolts holding the starter itself in place... good to see it was just the little guys holding the solenoid on there. It never occurred to me to pull the solenoid off while leaving the starter in place lol.

Hope she fires right up for you.
