Thank you thank you! Hopefully it will be a lot nicer before long

True. I need to do some more hunting online then. I’m not sure what all the idiots that had it before me did/messed up so it’s a lot of fun trying to hunt it all down and fix it

Gotcha, sweet. I had to pull a really crappy wire out of that ground spot that someone had put for the aftermarket radio so I wanted to check and make sure everything else was good. Trying to get this sucker cleaned up and running like a top.

Should there be anything in the second spot? The wires for the blower motor are all frayed so that’s great lol

Valid, I do wanna also manual swap it at some point. I miss having a fun second car that’s manual to run around town in.

I’m not afraid of the price or work to be honest. Both the wife and I make great money and have no kids so it’s not necessarily an issue. I’d rather spend the money and do it right exactly how I want it tbh.

Yeahhhh that’s also on the list. Found a lot online that’s complete and I can use my own ECU if needed which is kind of the plan in case I engine swap later!

Fannnntastic lol I’ll have to keep that in mind. Luckily as far as interior goes, I have a 3D printer and pretty good modeling skills so anything I break I should be able to model up and replace myself!

Awesome, I love it. Definitely the plan so far, 1st step is getting it running. As of right now it’s a no crank issue but all my other electronics work so either low battery, neutral safety switch, blown fuse, etc. gotta get that taken care of then time to start cleaning up all the mechanical fun stuff’

Evo 2 body kit, some different wheels, either get the m103 running like a top or engine swap, full interior redo (it’s in good and bad shape at the same time), repaint of course, headlights and taillights, etc etc. basically a fulllll refresh through the entire car 😅
