Day 4 - Slowly getting somewhere

Yeah I know, I promised not to go to the garage until my cold was gone. But I just couldn't wait. I'm in a real spree right now so I figured I need to do as much as possible as soon as possible. :) Todays contribution to the blog:

Remember I unscrewed the lens for the turn signals on
the hood? Well it was time to remove the cable and lamp.

Two connectors are attached to the turn signals, they both look
different so it's not possible to get them wrong on reassembly.

Since the electrical cables will have to come out at some point I
wrote where they go. I might have to redo this with better material later.

I moved on to the position lights in the grill.

They are only secured with two nuts on each side.
The lamp will come out if you twist it clock wise.

Lens and bezel removed.

Lamp removed by turning clock wise.

More writing on electrical cables. I remembered at this point it
would probaby be a good idea to write driver or passenger side as well.

Grill, headlamps, position lights and turn signals removed.

On to the rear lighting. I think I recall that this lens and bezel
can be removed by just pulling them straight out. But I lost a
lens while cruising last summer and to avoid that happening
again I made sure they cannot be removed by force or cruise. ;)

Instead, it's possible to remove the entire socket from inside
the luggage compartment. It's secured with three housing
attachment nuts: 2 at the top, 1 at the bottom.

After removing all three bolts, and just pulling the lamps out
straight from behind the whole thing comes out.

This is what bezel, lens and socket looks like...

And it leaves a nice little hole in the body. :)

Some Cordoba stuff against the wall.

The great shelf I bought today together with
assorted Cordoba items removed from the car.

I will do my best to keep the entire project this clean and organized! :)

That's all for today friends! Be sure to comment if you have any questions, suggestions or just want to leave a message. Check back soon, I have a feeling I will do a lot more work the next few weeks!
