1981 Fiat Spider 2000 - What am I doing!? LOL!!

[jimmycakes401]

I just finished wire brushing, sanding, rust disolving,and rust converting the floor pans an under the back seat. Tomorrow I will wipe everything down really well and coat the interior and the cowl with Master Series. I really can't wait. But I have to.

Yeah. Mine looked like that this morning. I'm going to hit the cowl with another coat tonight. Then I'm going to glass the cowl hole tomorrow. Then on Saturday I'll coat the glass and do a second coat on the interior.

jimmy
that looks great
im so
heres part of what i did today

[jimmycakes401]

RIpping up the tar on the tranny hump was a pain. Wear some work gloves. Those metal tabs are a KILLER on the knuckles. I'm going to pop off the weather stripping for the second coat so I can get up nice and close to the edges.

Anyone who has their car apart know what this orange wire is?

[124JOE]

that one is an after market fuse holder
test it for power
both with key on and off
its probably for the radio

[jimmycakes401]

Cool. Thanks. I have no battery. So that will have to wait. As long as it isn't stock. There's also a large red switch right under my steering wheel to the left. I'm sure they were wiring in something extra and never finished.

[jimmycakes401]

Here's my random switch. The leads are clean which leads me to believe they were STARTING to do something.

[124JOE]

probably fog lights

[jimmycakes401]

Ooooooo. Foglights. I'm taking it out. If I do fog lights there will be a giant switch in the center of my console, like in The Last Star Fighter. It may even say "death blossom".

Could be a direct Radiator Fan override switch. My car came this way with a switch in the exact same position.
