Sort of a front firewall and some other random interior stuff.

What a firewall 🙂 at least it keeps the air and dirt out for now. I just needed something to let me drive it over 45 without having to have googles on. a bit of aluminum flashing and the handyman’s secret weapon, duct tape, and I am good for what is left of the warm weather around here. I have air leaks around it some but who cares, I will have to redo the entire front firewall and maybe even the front suspension this fall, I think I have found a way to get a ton of leg room in it but I will have to redo the entire front end basically. I didn’t want to put a lot of effort into making something nice just for a few weeks of road testing the car.

I also got tired of driving it around sitting on the floor so I mounted the drivers seat into it. I have enough head room now that I can almost sit up straight in the car. Raising the body a inch higher off the floorpans made a huge difference in the headroom. I also gave up trying to be fancy about the switches and just used mini toggle switches stuck in a row on the dashboard. I used relays to power the circuits so I only used switches capable of 1 amp and could get away with mounting mini toggle switches to do everything. I wired them up simple as possible. The 3 switches in a row control park lights/headights, hi/low beam, and wipers. Basically that is all I really need in the car anyway. The other two switches on the lower middle of the dash control the trunk mounted fans for now but will probably be removed once I put a thermostat in the trunk to control them.

The interior looks terrible but for what I need it for right now it is good enough for me 🙂
