andyb5 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Very nice work around the rear crease line and integrating the C30 side skirts! Those personalized bits really pull the whole project together in my eyes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Back end mostly done, widened the rear spoiler. "A" & "B" pillar seams mostly done. Air ducts done. Interior will get some work after bodywork is done two EZK ECU's modded with OBDII ports for logging 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookforjoe Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Got both doors cleaned up, primed & installed. Modified C30 rockers fitted. Worked on some low spots reworking the original larger engine cover, it feels more in keeping with the larger rear had to bead blast the seams & rebond the inner to outer panels Primed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Still more detail filling/blending to go - after these pics I did more work on the front fender caps, the rear spoiler, and added some meat to the side of the front spoiler where it was tapered to level off the upward sweep of the stock lip repaired front lip where it was damaged by flatbed after HG failure fattened & tapered the side up into marker light region, and removed 'wobble' visible in 3/4 shots before after before after unless I get lucky, the avergae temps now are 40ºF range, so too cold to continue with any bodywork.

lookforjoe Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Chopped up the instrument cluster to move the tach next to the speedo adding some v70 and 700 content - idiot light cluster & film little bit of circuit wiring rewiring the harness finally, view through the wheel :) EZK 116 with wasted spark mod Harness... Coil placement Power stage & heat sink Kingsborne custom plug wires in, distributor removed (Fiat made a blanking plug for cam mounted distributor setups) tach pulse relay 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Volvo Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Had some time to read through all of the fiat stuff. Very cool stuff going on. I really like how you use other parts from other cars (s2000 seats, x70 center console, x70 warning lights in the dash, etc). Speechless on the body work for just doing it at home! Looks fantastic. Will you be bringing this car to Carlisle this year? Edited January 7, 2017 by Simply Volvo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be bringing this car to Carlisle this year? Thanks, Matt. Still hoping to paint it myself also - see how that goes with the 2K prime coat... I will be driving this to Carlisle - the K16, etc. on the C30, won't happen until the X1/9 is mostly done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Built a Bosch Powerstage (960, M4.4) setup to run instead of the Mitsu - less wires, easier to locate spares for me. Mouser has all the AMP 2,3 & 7 pole connectors. C30 stuff - rewired the fogs & brakes, added two additional brake lights - following Gerrit's (TheBelgian on C30) directions. I used Volvo conenctors instead of scotch locks & American spade connections ;) tested the wiring Gonna fix my foglight - bypass the CEM & wire them through a separate pulse relay. The factory wiring appears to feed juice to both sides of the fog relay, and uses the pulse from the foglight switch to inform the CEM that it is OK to ground the (85) terminal of the fog relay, thus turning on the fogs. In my case, the CEM is refusing to do so, even though I have paid for the fucking software, and Volvo cannot figure out why it won't accept the signal. Did I mention I hate all this software reliant operation? Bunch of fucking crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Removed the CEM, Removed G:9, B:23 & A:32 & added pigtails to feed the new relay, terminating at this 6 pole JPT connector, which the relay will plug into Using stock ground point However, that relay didn't work. The signal from the stock foglight switch (to B:23 at the CEM) engaged the new relay, but caused it to 'strobe". So, I've made two alternatives to try. Manual on/off switch integrated into headlight switch. This will switch a standard relay to ground, turning on the fogs. power supplied from the light circuit, so no fogs if the lights are off. Fogs will stay on with high beams. Alternate is a Volvo overdrive relay, which relies on a trigger signal to turn it on/off. This will make use of the existing momentary feed from the stock foglight switch. Power will be switched from the light circuit also. Won't know until tomorrow if it will work. I'd rather keep the dash switch stock, so this is the preferred option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
