oooh, new bits. Nice use of the Saleen there as a shelf for all your new parts for the Trans-Am.
Were your original dials not working? or changing from kph to mph or something?
How many calendars do you need? lol.:thumb:

Well spotted Dan yes have a wall full of nice calenders hard to keep my mind focused when working on my cars,,
Yes just waiting on a few more parts to come from the states and not from rockauto :tape:..
when tracing fault with fan motor found no fuse in fuse holder up inside dash (what a place to put a fuse holder) saw the membrain circuit board and removed dash dials and have now ordered new membrain as wasn't in the best of shape not that clear in photo also have managed to get to fan and test as have now got 12 volts but motor bit ropey so have ordered new fan motor as well..

Well at the weekend managed to fit new fan motor and refit wing and bonnet and sort knocking exhaust, even fitted new plastic T Top interior panels and start the old girl up no leaks left it running for a good 1/2 hour no problems considering it's been sitting for so long. Just go the dash to put back together and try and remember where the black cable goes from dash ,

Looking great. I bet you are loving something to tinker with? The t-top plastic bis look like they needed replacing. Are they east to change? the're not bonded to the glass at all?

Hi, Dan yes T Top panels were easy fit not bonded just 4 scews but you do need to remove the release handle before you fit then bit tight due to age but came of had to retieghtern all the screws behind panel as loose before refitment, Got parts from Fbodywarehouse bit slow due to bad weather out there and they use USPS ,

Wow you have been busy. Progress is looking good.
Did you find it easy to push the cylinder back in to put in new brake pads. The Fiesta took me 3 hours to change the front pads. I recall it taking about 20mins on the Trans-Am.
