G28 - Simple Mans, Simple REDO of an G28 LP640

[Simple Man]

started on the engine hatch. The REDOs G28 hatch had seen batter dayz, so I went with an OEM replica.

The angles on the body are not right.  The gap from the hatch to the body is 1/2 inch.

Fiberglass, and some sanding and the gap is 3/16 of and inch.  Will use some dyna glass to dial it in later

Well Having been down with injuries to both thumbs for 7 weeks, project REDO has been restarted 

Finished the IDLA port and the wrapping of the wiring harness.

Got a chart from Ryan at Sinister Performance LLC, a very helpful person.

With the PIN layout for  for the OBDII port wires.

PIN 59 Purple wire was one of the cut loose wires 
PIN 15 tan is MIA

With The Fiero Kings shift system in I fired up the engine and it is running rich.  Replaced the MAF, TPS and IAC sensors and adjusted the fuel pressure.

I wanted to run a scan but the Prior Owner removed the ALDL port   

does anyone know the what PIN to wire up the ALDL port    There are 4 wires unattached by the PCM

After finishing the door wiring, I moved on to the engine.

A shift system was purchased from Joe the fiero king and installed so you have to depress the brake pedal to before you can push into PNDR.  It a nice set up and I'm glad I have it for the build!

Side view mirror - had the thing working weeks ago.  spent hours second guessing my catera to feiro to lambo chart.  Long story short the wire on the drivers side had been cut by someone     Ran some new wires and got them working

Also added an $8 mirror folding system.  Here is a video.

Need to add my interior actuator switch and to solder it all up

[Simple Man]

Trying to put to bed the wiring on the drivers door

ran about 18 wires into the door via a rubber grommet, then started to wire everything up.

Wow that looks great! What is that plastic you are using for your wheel wells and where did you purchase it?

Thank you, its ABS plastic 1/8 inch thick. Its pretty inexpensive.  Google ABS plastic near your home as you can get bigger sheets as shipping would cost more than the product.

Made a flange on the qtr panel and scoop and welded up a frame for the NEW oil cooler and trimmed  and fitted the wheel well liner.

Pretty happy how solid the oil cooler mount is and the way the wheel well liner looks

I need a piece of ABS 10.5 x 76 inches.  this will be a cover and attach to the rocker and frame underneath to the car to give a clean look

[Simple Man]

spent most the day working on the floor in a horizontal position.

Did some body work on the rocker and qtr panel as i cut out the G28 rocker /scoop and replaced with OEM replica

used dyna glass to fix the gap left where I cut out the G28 rocker, Between the qtr panel and OEM replica scoop

The doors are looking fantastic! People who haven't worked on their doors yet can't fully appreciate the amount of work that goes in to them to get them right. Great job! Keep it up!

Thank you Neils88,  yes the doors have a lot going on in them.  Im glad I didnt start on the doors, gave me some time to refine my skills.

Well it looks like I haven't done anything on the car  ,  but a lot of fiddling around with the outer door skin, fiber glassing sand etc to get the side view mirror to mount.  I have had this door skin on the car, off the car so many times 

had to add a flange on the upper part of the door, REDO the mirror mounting area, finalized my outer window scraper brackets (3m8115 then FGP). Added some wood blocks and bolts to mount the skin to get a better idea of how it all coming together

[Simple Man]

Appreciate the progress photos. Especially when you demonstrate that just because something doesn't fit what you have, you can make it fit. Great inspiration for all builders.

Thanks Dale, Not a whole lot fits on the REDO, LOL!  Its a slow process for sure!  Hope to have my car looking as nice as the ones you have built.
