G28 - Simple Mans, Simple REDO of an G28 LP640

[Simple Man]

Heater core and Heater hoses came in and were installed.  Cleaned up and painted the rusted parts in the heater box and various brackets.  Installed new blower motor.  Also flushed the evaporator before it was installed

That Fiero AC controller with the Lamborghini script and logo look well nice... Have you contacted Riceburner?
If Riceburner is out of the question then think about getting a Rover controller, I figured out some of the pinout, email me and I can help with the  rover controller. You have an awesome build dont waist your time with that Fiero thing at the minimum you can use a fake controller on top of the Fiero controller. In one of my Diablo replica I have a dummy removable controller and underneath there is a working Fiero controller, it adds to the look. Just my humble opinion

 I contacted him with in the last 2-3 years , and again last week.

 I have the Rover controller.  A dummy cover might be a good idea.

Thank you

tried to get the pictures right side up ….. not sure what is happening

[Simple Man]

well the REDO came with a groovy HVAC controller.    Plugged it in and was surprised that actually controlled the zones of the system.  Fan didn't come on.

Took off the cover to the Evaporator, more maple leaf seeds and mice poop than pictured. Took off the cover to the heater core more goo to clean.
 
Bench tested the blower fan an it is dead.

Parts ordered
Blower
Blower resistor module
Heater core - didn't like the aftermarket one as it was a little smaller than OEM
Two heater hoses for car with A/C

Cleaned up pretty nice.

Spending some time tying up a few loose ends.
Fixed the leaking transmission line, bled the Rad system.  Adjusted the throttle cable, adjusted the brake light switch. 

Then body work and flat black  paint on the back side of the bat wings, and finished the gap work.   For now anyways 

Started to look at modifying the dash but decided to change directions to work on the HVAC

[Simple Man]

Back on the REDO after some R&R in a warm dry place

Finished welding, prepped and painted my rear engine hatch and bat wing structure.

Installed some struts on the rear hatch

worked some more on the gaps, getting there

[Simple Man]

thanks for the pics, they are motivation!!!!

I use the pictures from time to time myself.  For me focusing on one little piece of the car and completing that section, gives me some boost.

Being on day 9 out of 17 days of vacation, starting to get a little restless and wanting to work on the REDO!

Applied some rage gold.  Maybe be a bit to much as I sanded off a ton of     

Second time applying did a better job  and focused on one side. 

either my internet connection suxs or this website has issues having a hard time up loading pictures 

[Simple Man]

Added Dura Glass to the top side of the engine bonnet, to get it flush with the body, and also fixed the gap.

Ground down through the reverse side,  through the two layers of the bonnet to the dura glass,   and into the dura glass to get 1/8 of an inch or so thickness.

Then reinforced with CSM

Major milestone of the REDO, Actually drove the car in and out of the shop 

Cleaned up the shop, and will cut the passenger door skin off, so I can start that project over the winter months.

[Simple Man]

Made some brackets to mount the bat wings to the body.

Got the actuators installed and the bat wings go up and down with the engine bonnet closed.  The actuators hold the bat wings nice and firm in up or down position.  Still need to wire up with relays.

Had to cut the fiberglass on the body and fiber glassed from below to remove the gap form OEM sized bat wing to G28 Body.  Ill do the drivers side next and a bunch of body work to to get the bonnet, bat wings and body gaps correct     

[Simple Man]

Made a plug and then a mold for the rear spoiler and started on the recessed area on the rear trunk.

Over all pretty happy with the part

[Simple Man]

what a yawner on the REDO today, did some fiberglass repair,  Wash, rinse, sand, acetone, tin foil etc.  on the rear trunk lid and hacked up body
