Got back from Mexico about a week ago, just been busy getting caught up so I haven’t been able to update this. A lot of replacement \/ upgrade parts have arrived over the past few weeks, so time to show off what I’ve been buying.<\/p>\n
First off, we’ve got intake and exhaust manifold gaskets for the Ecotec, as well as a replacement valves cover gasket. That’ll be used when I go about cleaning up \/ powdercoating the valves cover. Also, I got the airflow sensor, which I’ll have to fabricate a custom housing for based off the designs on Bowtie6’s intake. All that’s courtesy of GM Parts House.<\/p>\n
Next up we’ve got\u00a0a box of switches, mostly 2 position with a few 3 positions, for the new instrument cluster. That was bought from a random internet vendor.<\/p>\n
After that, the big pile of lighting parts from Morgan Spares, We’ve got full headlamp assemblies with new chrome rings. Also we’ve got the new front and rear indicator \/ brake light housings. I’m still looking into my options for doing halogen headlamps, and I need to start sorting out what I’m going to do as far as LED lighting upgrades.<\/p>\n
Following that,\u00a0a pair of brand new windshield wiper bases that I found on Ebay. Since I pretty much destroyed one of the originals in order to get it apart, this was a needed replacement for sure.<\/p>\n
Finally, we’ve got the absolutely superb rebuild \/ restoration done on the windshield wiper motor done by E. Lawrie Rhoads of British Car Part Restoration<\/a>. He was good enough to also send along wiring instructions so that I don’t have to worry about this rebuilt wiper motor blowing itself up a second time.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
