I'm hoping to be able to upgrade the rear diff and the suspension while it's in the garage. That floor is creeper friendly for under car work. That's where the exhaust is going to happen too I think. It'll be way more comfortable.
It might be a day or two but I'll have it in there soon. The Mrs. is going to be driving the Pro while I power it with the Ford. It's tricky but very doable.Last edited by 1st Gen; 11-14-2010, 04:03 PM.1991 Protege LX with GTX swap, DD1990 4WD Protege with GTX swap, Project/garage decoration2006 Mazda 3 with 2.3, Her car1980 Ford F100 Short bed with 300ci 6 cylinder, work truck/home for moss

Once it's in the garage, I can trouble shoot it at my leisure. I'd like to get it running this winter for sure. I just don't know if it'll happen. For now, I have holidays and B-Days to think about. I'm working on it still, it's just harder to find the time.

I'm not really done with the sensors and such. Still, it could have started.
I also hacked up the harness pretty good so I'm sure there's possibility of error there.
I also found out the radiator leaks in at least two places so it's not holding coolant at all. Of course that wouldn't cause it to not start but it's still a problem.
I don't think it's anything serious, but it will take time to trouble shoot and I just spent a ton o time pushing and pulling on all those new hoses I had to put on there. Changing direction for a little while is helping me in a few ways.Last edited by 1st Gen; 11-16-2010, 08:32 PM.1991 Protege LX with GTX swap, DD1990 4WD Protege with GTX swap, Project/garage decoration2006 Mazda 3 with 2.3, Her car1980 Ford F100 Short bed with 300ci 6 cylinder, work truck/home for moss

The wheel of fate plays heavy in my plans but I'm shooting for road worthy in 10 weeks. It should be at least running far sooner.Last edited by 1st Gen; 11-17-2010, 11:40 AM.1991 Protege LX with GTX swap, DD1990 4WD Protege with GTX swap, Project/garage decoration2006 Mazda 3 with 2.3, Her car1980 Ford F100 Short bed with 300ci 6 cylinder, work truck/home for moss

I need time and money mostly. Lol, with the exception of the exhaust and the leaking radiator, I'm pretty well set. I'm going to upgrade the suspension at some point but it's not the highest priority right now. I think it should start just fine when I get the new Walbro fuel pump in there.
I didn't turn it over for very long when I tried to start it the first time. After sitting for years, I'm sure there are other fuel issues that need to be worked through.
I don't really need anything right now. I'll need seat belt buckles eventually, and a head liner, but those are kind of down on the list too. I'll have to replace the windshield at some point. The car isn't new and I'm not trying to make it that way. I do want it to drive well though.
