Day 8 started by finishing up the troubleshooting of the ABS system. I found it was a bad relay, great, should be an easy fix… Should be, but not so much… Come to find out the relay is a special part that is discontinued and nobody has a new one in stock. Great, so I guess I can try fixing it. But how?
To the internet… I search and find a couple methods to try, I try them, but no luck. On to something else for now. I give the antenna a shot, I get the old one removed completely and test fit the new one, but it doesn’t work, I’d prefer a hidden antenna anyway, so no biggie. I wrap up the wiring with some shrink tubing to eliminate the chances for a short, and I button up the wiring.
Next up is the sanding and polishing of the taillights. I run through all the bits and pieces and they turn out really nice, not perfect, but very nice. It is amazing what some sandpaper and polishes will do.
Sometime during one of my trips out of the house, I was able to find a paint color to match the car for some touch ups. I prepped the body panel located by the battery and gave it a shot of the new color. Not a perfect match, but close. I may need to go to a paint supply shop to have them mix a custom color.
For now, I’m tired, so until tomorrow…
