Im pulling all my harnesses getting ready to repaint the whole damn thing, but damn do i really gotta do that? Its really a giant PITA. All the clips are stuck in there hard as ****. Anyone at least have tips to take out the clips easier? Right now its i either snap the ziptied clips or they come out with alot of strength or they dont come out at all.

I wonder what they do at MOB works in cali. They must know somethign that i dont.

 

whatever holds em in should pop off, you have to go behind the walls to pop em out

 

the clips are easy to get off but the ones that are tied down with zip ties and stuck in the holes are a pain in the ***, but its hella worth it in the end when u hide all the wires looks so much cleaner. It just takes time, i pryed on them with a flat head and just worked from there. if your gonna paint it yourself the sanding part is gonna be the biggest pain in the *** i never worked so hard on my car until i sanded the interior i spent close to 30 hrs on sanding so far and its not even close to done. goodluck and have fun

 

lets just say im going to hate life when I go to sand the interior.

Yep thank god im not. LOL but my painter said that there probably is going to be a **** load of orange peel on the inside when hes done painting. Wet sanding is going to be a bitch for him.

But yea im taking out the clips in the engine bay for the wiring harnesses and man what another PITA. i hate clips and wheni m done with this project im not gonna be tackling anything like it for a lllloooooong time.

 

they sell special clip tools to help you remove clips and those zip tie things. craftsman makes a set and so does facom tools. wetsanding the interior is fun!

its not a fun job to do (trust me i just did it to my car) but if you want it to look good, you have got to do it right.

In the end it is worth it

 

LOL just had a friend take out all the clips. He doesnt like working on cars at all but for some reason he was so quick and good at taking out the clips. He went at them with a baby screw driver and got them all out in the back of my car, LOL Thank god for friends.

 

post up progress

 

Sorry bro dont got a digi camera on me rightn ow.

 

heres some before pics. i'll have some after pics in prolly a couple weeks since it takes a long time I KNOW THE PICS LOOK LIKE ***

 

good shti man, mine looks about the same minus the arm rest and the dash. I gotta just take out the hand brake and lines and im set to get it sprayed. I got the dash totally naked none of the reservoirs and all the lines are all with nothing on them. Man im scared though about when putting back together the harnesses and ****. I dont have ahelms. Need to buy one soon cause when times come around to put the whole car back together im gonna be screwed with these damn harnesses. Im gonna have to buy more of those ziptie clips also along with some screws for the engine bay as they are rotten to hell and look nasty.

 

Lots of work. Good Luck

 

Basically got all the wiring out already, just need to take out the wire for the rear gas lid opener and the rear glass opener. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I just gotta get these two things and im set!

 

heres mine right before it got sprayed...
