I labeled all of the many connections. My plan was to use this main harness out of the donor since I knew it’s history and it was in better shape that the coupe’s.

I’d already removed the dashboard and it was such a pain with the passenger side door that I decided to remove it. So much easier getting in and out of the car to do my work!

I don’t know why it took me so long to realize that I’d need the clutch pedal bracket out of the donor car.

My friend Bart suggested that I just take it one step further and paint the Ospho treated parts.

The oversized zip ties are from when I took the box apart back in the 2008 time frame to replace a leaking air conditioning evaporator. At the time, I also replaced the heater core. I was going to replace both of those parts again just because I had the entire box out of the car but all the parts are now china made. The parts inside are old but not china. I decided to stay with the older, non-china parts.

Here is the clutch master cylinder mounting plate in position waiting for holes to be drilled. Way too close to the freshly painted brake booster.

The holes are drilled and the bolts are in. The silver paint on the booster is a little dinged up from the drill.

This is what MDL calls a “push-pull” lever. In my case, the spherical bearing was not articulating properly. When I hung the clutch pedal, the pedal wouldn’t return to its “at rest” position. I spoke with MDL and they had me isolate the lever and it still was binding and not allowing the clutch pedal to freely return to it’s at rest position. I removed the push-pull lever and sent it back to MDL. They shipped me a replacement and it worked perfectly!

The Quick Roof was very easy to work with. I used a utility knife and a pair of shop scissors to cut it.

I purchased a nice, urethane roller tool to help press down the Quick Roof but I quickly realized that I really didn't need the roller tool.

After I got the very front of the car's interior insulated, I installed the OEM firewall pad. This particular pad came from the donor car.
