I screw a majority of them back in where they came from, however most of the dash is only 2 different size bolts. Otherwise I have bagged and labeled others. And lots and lots of pictures!Just curious how you organize all the bolts, screws, clips, fasteners, etc. when you pull everything out? Do you label stuff or just put in tubs or do you just know how everything goes back together? Nonetheless, impressive feat if you can pull it off!
I hope this was fresh water, I would expect a complete loss with a 90 minute soak in salt water.
Was it in fresh or sea water?
Yes freshwater. Lake MichiganI read till the end looking for the answer if fresh or salt water. If fresh water the chances of this project working out are much higher.
Unfortunely it sat for nearly 3 months after it happen.I don't know how long this thing was wet before the restoration efforts began but the corrosion on that circuit board says salt water to me.
It can be done, the Navy has restoration procedures for aircraft that get soaked in saltwater due to firefighting efforts.
This is the first thread I've ever watched.I’m gonna regret clicking watch this thread, but I can’t look away!
let us know what you’re into this thing $$ wise and hours of work wise when all is said and done!
Some of these boards don’t look that great under the microscope. We have been soldering a lot of the boards and have had some successful repairsAre you baking any of those circuit boards after cleaning and drying? I would be concerned about any micro fractures in the solder that would cause glitches.
Gotta be able to lock it and keep it safe in this day and age. Can't have anyone trying to drive off with it.I'm looking forward to following your progress OP!
Just a question, why didn't you take the doors off when you gutted the thing? Would have made access much easier.
that cranking sounds pretty good. which 2.0 engine is this? (im assuming not an etorque one)New Starter in! Plugs are back in, engine cranking sounds good and is promising.
