Ah...finally got around to ripping the rest of this...dung...out of my car...its really a good thing cuz I needed the extra space for my new ignition system components to mount properly...then about 30 mins after taking these pictures ups rolls up with all the stuff I need https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Been there. Did you plug the holes coming through the firewall or remove the condensor thingy from within its plastic box inside the dash?

falcoln0014 06-29-2004 02:51 AM

I plugged the wholes cuz the stupid wasps here fill anything they find open with mud...not fun



figured there was some more junk inside the dash...but I'm not really worried about digging it all out...seems like more trouble than its worth if you ask me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png

It is. what did you plug your holes with? I left mine open, and they hav ebeen that way for well over a year now.



What did you use?

This is gonna sound ghetto as hell, but it works very well and looks good too...

When I ripped out my AC, I plugged the two holes in the firewall using the pop off caps from a milk jug. Painted them both black and coated the backs with high heat gasket sealer. After cleaning up the excess sealer it looks like they're supposed to be there! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Oh and if you're really retarded aout weight reduction like I am, the condenser thing under the dash weighs about 5 or 10 lbs...it's heavy! I ripped it out and fabbed up a piece of aluminum hose to replace the hole left behind. It works really well and looks kinda nice if you take the time to look under there.

this is gonna sound even more ghetto than what he did https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



the top hole...i found a spark plug...which I believe was origionally out of my car...piece of crap plug...it fit perfectly in the top hole...turned a bit...nice and tight



then I found a bolt in my box as well...which appears to be about...eh...half inch or somethin...i'm bad at juding...either way...stuck it in the bottom hole...twist a bit...nice and tight

i havent filled the holes in my firewall and its been cool for 2 years

ioTus 06-30-2004 02:54 AM

Yeah same iwth mine.



I've lef tmine uncovered for just about 2 years. i just was thinking it might be nice to plug it up.

falcoln0014 06-30-2004 03:23 AM

I dunno about where you guys live...but if I leave ANYTHING unplugged...something moves in...stupid wasps usually...building their mud nests...i've gotta pop the hood and remove 3 or 4 of those things a week sometimes...its crazy



so no matter what i'm doing to the car...if theres a hole...i'm lookin for something to plug it with...cuz the stupid wasps are already trying to move in https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
