Hey Blown Formula!
Hows your project going? Haven't heard anything about it in a while.
|
I was thinking about doing this the last few days, but delayed too long & I took off on the Sonic for two weeks during the Holidays.
Here is my Progress: 1. all new wire connections & fuse blocks under dash now 2. installed a #6ga. 12vdc & ground block under dash (no dim lights now!) for all switched functions. cuts voltage drop to insignificant levels. 3. Replaced a fuel tank sender unit- stuck in the "empty" position. 4. Removed all spliced wiring & "surplus" (owner added-junk). 5. Upholstered the bolsters & installed the drivers side. 6. removed corroded & defective macerator head unit for later replacement. 7. replaced broken thru hull drain (been leaking for a long time evidently) from sink. 8. new battery switch 9. Installed hatch lift 10. removed all non-oem plastic panels for replacement w/oem or custom panels. 11. replaced shorepower a/c breaker panel (missing from boat). 12. installed rear anchor light mount in hull. 13. fixed engine cover mis-alignment 14. removed the large compass to install GPS in custom made housing behind windscreen 15.removing engines now (this week) to rework & re-finish engine bay. To Do List: engines to be tested & broken down to assure they are identical internally (one is mark IV, one is gen V), rebuild & upgrade cams & carbs. Scheduled is also replacing all bilge pumps, reconditioning all hydraulic ( trim & k-plane) pumps & removal of corrosion from them. replace missing pump fill cap. Replacement of all corroded wiring terminal blocks & connections in the engine bay. Install all new battery cables ( & grounds) to starters Install new external Latham steering Install Stainless Marine exhaust manifolds Re-upholster the back seat & build new seat frame for same. Install new (killer) sound system. I have a lot to do before my ankle surgery (after the Miami Boat Show) as I will be in a cast afterward with some limited mobility for several weeks. Any volunteers to help??? :eek: :crazy: & thanks for asking! |
wow! you've got quite a lot done!

When I am looking at it, I wonder if I will ever get it done.... but I know I will, I just hope the money holds out!! That is always a problem in this sport & I just completely rebuilt beyond spec the two engines in my Formula (which is for sale- a bargain).
I just can't wait to get back to work on it this weekend. :cool: |
