Nice

Another question, I forget to use poly adhesive on part of the floor pans..

Does df supply enough rivits to redo mistakes? Is it worth the trouble?

I don’t know if it’s worth it, but rivets are easy to acquire.

On option is you can just run a bead between the tube and floor where they meet. Not as pretty but will probably still get the job done.

I don't think it is worth the trouble. During the build, I dented my floor pans on both sides by misplaced jack stands and broke the seal in a few spots. Plenty of dust and dirt gets in any way so a few spots of missing adhesive won't make much of a difference.

My experience is the adhesive is more for rattles than bonding the floor.

 

[Fenix Nexen]

Any part of this going to be used?

 

[Robinjo]

Nope. All trash.

You do need the nut (19mm?) that holds on the steering wheel though.

 

[Gtstorey]

You need the part the multi function light stalk plugs into but I can’t tell if that is included in that assembly.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Yep, take off the slip ring (the round thing on top in the photo) and keep the turn signal plug-in (the rectangular piece that's below the slip ring) - that's the part @Gtstorey is indicating above. You may to keep the slip ring in case another builder is looking for one, if you will not be using it to have a horn button on your steering wheel.

How does the turn signal receptacle attach to the frame?

 

[Chris_WNC]

There are a couple of tabs that get used to attach it.

First photo, yes that is the ABS control, it is not needed for the Goblin. Second photo, not sure what you are asking about, but hood latch is not needed and can be junked with the donor carcass. Third photo, yes there are wiring differences between the coupe and sedan. Keep everything and...

Don't know what you found but yes you need to keep the surrent sensor.

Here is the state of my cv axels, wondering what would be the best thing to do for the rust. Or should I get new ones

Also a lot of white crap has formed after washing the engine, what should be done about this?

 

[Ross]

Just oxidation on both the steel and aluminum.
I used these in my dremel, to clean the little spots in the aluminum.
Wipe it off, and paint.

Thanks, made an attempt at it and this is how part of it turned out

Will grab paint tomorrow

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Shoot it with some semi-gloss black and they will look great!

 

[Fenix Nexen]

Any step by step guides of how to paint the engine? I'm nervous.

 

[Ross]

You could go to YouTube university... "how to clean and paint engine block"
but I did the mini wire brush... to get into the corners, then paint thinner or acetone to de-grease, then paint.
If you get a paint run, or dust in your paint, don't worry. Just clean it up with some sandpaper, and paint again.

 

[Scott #321]

Soda blasting the engine is an option as well but probably cost prohibitive unless you can do it yourself.
