With an new clutch hydraulic line installed, the Eclipse can now take a few steps, and move under its own power! The drive train is complete!!!
Now, with that said, it is very difficult to move the BR Spirit Car with no interior, so we focussed our efforts on attaining some sort of normalcy in the vehicle's passenger compartment.
After pressure washing the carpet, Car Club students worked to tidy up the chassis and floor area of the gutted Eclipse...
We had to remove old speaker wires and a bit of rust from the floor area. However, once tidied up, we were able to reinstall the front carpeting and the driver's seat.
Now the vehicle can be safely moved around the compound during the next steps of the rebuild.
There is some talk of turning the car into a two seater instead of the conventional four seat configuration. This would be to allow for a more creative design of the interior with more subwoofers and audio gear in the mid and rear section of the car. Only time will tell.
Next week, Car Club will tackle one of the peskiest challenges yet with the Eclispe....the finicky vertical door issue...
Tune in next week for the answer!
