Reverse Lights Pages Is Up!

Well, I've been on a little break from working on the car lately to spend more time hanging out with my wife and to just relax.  I did work on the door last weekend for a while (getting them cleaned up from rust).  I also did a little investigation into the alarm system after getting all the new wiring harness in.  Happy to say, the power windows now work with the new harness, and so does the "dome" light.  While investigating the alarm system, I accidentally set it off with my multimeter probe.  And yes, the horn still works!

I've been gearing up to finish the doors and interior repair.  Have to finish treating the rust in the doors before I can finish the wiring, and I have to finish the wiring before I can put the dash back together.  This part has just been slow going.  I've got the parts to do a complete emergency/parking brake rebuild, so that will probably be my next project once I'm done with this one.

I did end up getting the DeWitts aluminum radiator with electric fans when they were on sale.  It's freaking awesome!  It's so light that my wife can easily pick up the entire box...  Also on the way is a 55 GPM electric water pump.  With all these parts going electric, I will be needing to get a new alternator.  It's also possible that I may need to change out my v-belts and pulleys for something else because of clearance issues.  We'll see...

Anyway, I finally got around to putting together a page for a project I did in the early fall last year.  The idea was to put reverse lights in the car because it didn't really have any since tail lights had been converted to "bubble lens".  Check out the page for more info.
