What did you do to your 2002 today !

[Rodolfo Lasparri]

Removed the wiring harness today, next week it’s off to the blasters. For what it’s worth, while it is possible to remove the entire assembly into the body; in my case I had to de-pin two smaller connectors.

Todays Mission:

2 hours under the car redoing the reverse light switch wiring, I HATE working under my car in the driveway........But the lights work again

Put on the trim and fit the front spoiler after doing a rough front end alignment. Did the rear deck mods for the stereo so I can put the glass back in. So much to do...

    Realoem, group #23, diagram #14, item #2. P/N 23411466134 and click on the "camera" icon to see it. I always squeeze the spring steel collar a little to make it fit tighter on installation and then turn the split on the collar about 90 degrees from the dowel. No fun getting towed home (BTDT).

Would that be the same size pin for the rod joint outside the tranny? Since it has 2 pins and I lost one. Arrow below for reference, #4 is the tension bush that was moved for the pin to come out.

   Go over one more frame, to #17, and item #4 dowel is the same P/N .....466134 as listed before. IIRC they are all the same, at least '70-'76.

Adjusted the hood and added those little j hooks for the front grille.  

Checked the internet to see where all my parts are ?? There not close ☹️

Removed front and rear glass, no issues, no drama. Most of all no rust hiding under the seal!

BTW if you carefully bend those hook ends with Vise-Grips while around the grill mounting ear, they stay in place better while awaiting the thumb screws.

Gave my 54 year old carpet a good cleaning. I kind of like the patina of my original carpet. I have new Esty floor mats that will cover the worst of it anyway.

Getting some more floor work done. Gas pedal mount and floor patch next

Hello friends, today was a beautiful day, I had the day off work so I decided to install my new headliner. I still need to cut out for the sunroof opening, I’ll let the perimeter glue dry overnight before doing that. Overall I think it went pretty well. This was my first rodeo installing a headliner. I’m enjoying a cold one now. Cheers.

Should a '75 car have those j hooks? I have a j hook and the knurled nut I found in some stuff that came w/ the car.  I really couldn't figure exactly where they go on my plastic grills.

Take some more pictures on your process if you can. I salute you for attempting that job. Is that the old headliner hanging on the wall?

 

I have a sunroof too and that probably complicates things. Was your old board material still good? My PO replaced the original board w/ home cut corrugated plastic panels, maybe from the aircraft industry. I'm reluctant to attempt a re-do.

My old board was good, but I did apply some marine urethane to the top side to help protect it. I have 2 headliners on the wall to reference. One is the sunroof and the other is the original. The previous owner used my roof to stand on while putting things in the rafters. Roof dents everywhere  and a few large ones made me decide to do a roof skin swap and gain a sunroof at the same time. I haven’t found anything too difficult yet as long as I do research first. This site has been great for that.

Mine ('76) does.  They go way on the outside, outside of the headlight, right in the middle.  Have to reach your hand through to inside the light bucket area with the hood open to tighten the nut.
