Power Steering Pump Mount

Made a mounting bracket for the electric power steering pump. It is mounted to eh body next to the original 12V battery. The arm with the broken mount point will be sandwiched in place.




I took measurements from the pump to the steering box for the new hoses.

Vacuum Pump Mounting

I made brackets for the vacuum pump and reservoir, mouting is on the fender next to the brake master cylinder.

Power Windows

The power windows were misbehaving. I removed disassembled and cleaned the console switches, but the problem persisted.


I found this article about a common issue with the window ECU. I resoldered the loose joint, and I also bypassed the ignition power supply so that the windows are always 'live' - I do that with every car that I can.

Ceiling liner discovery

Removed the ceiling liner - it was sagging right where the front sun-roof would be.



I discovered soem kind of tracking device concealed there.



Not sure of the brand, but it was tied into the locks and lights. Gone now.

I patched up the cables that had been spliced and ran some wire loom from the front to the mid light, just in case...



To repair the liner, I cut a large concave hole in the foam from the top side, removed the piece, applied glue to the fabric from the 'inside' and then pressed is all back together. (sorry, no pictures of that)
