Good day all!!!
Well, I have been debating what to do next... I am still waiting for a call from the driveline shop...
I have the shifter arms tonight for modification, if possible...
That leaves a few things for wiring and coding... I debated on waiting for a connector for my ignition switch... OR I can pull a length of wire from a salvage vehicle with the correct pin already connected... There are two other solid red wires in the connector that I can use for my PIN 8... The pin came out easily after pulling the connector apart... The only thing left is a reverse switch wire run down the side of the trans...
and a little tug and the pin came right out... I could reuse this pin if I just solder the wire to the connector and existing wire... But I want it to look as original as possible...
So, I will try to get over there this weekend... Maybe I will get lucky and find a manual trans BMW in the yard... They are really hard to find these days...
After these last two wiring issues, I have the drive shaft, starter, some more interior stuff, and shifter arms to install... I put the carpet back in and it really looks unmolested... Cutting might not be the bad way to go in favor of pulling the entire dash... I don't mind pulling the dash tho!! I can get to some use-able wire easier... The A/C system will be the challenge there... I'd rather not break open that seal if I don't have to...
Okay, off to get some work done!!
Cheers!!!
