[QUOTE="2fastfords, post: 14416881, member: 101606"] Time for an update. I work out of state during the week so my build time is limited to the weekends so sadly its going a bit slower then I prefer. Anyway after a good bit of research I couldnt find anything about using the 03/04 door latch/ lock actuators in their swaps so I was going to rewire my 98 setup. 99Cobra_vert set me up with a pair from his 03 partout for a good price so I figured Ill give them a try. So heres the two different latch assemblys, 03/04 on the left. [ATTACH=full]601902[/ATTACH] So the latch bolts right in but the locking rod for to the key is pretty different. 98 on the Top, 03 on the bottom. [ATTACH=full]601903[/ATTACH] So neither rod worked, one too long, the other too short. So when you use the key it wont lock or unlock the door. So after some measuring and trial and error, I modified the longer rod to this. Now its the right length and the key works perfectly. [ATTACH=full]601904[/ATTACH] Swapped out the drivers door lock to the 03 one since Ill be using the 03 column. [ATTACH=full]601905[/ATTACH] So heres the latch and rods all bolted in and wired up. Both doors are done now. Im trying to decide what I want to do with the passenger lock though since the 03/04s didnt have the passenger lock. I think Ill attempt to get it re-keyed to match the new column and drivers door. [ATTACH=full]601906[/ATTACH] Got a heat exchanger and power steering cooler since mine were mangled in the wreck. Took some time to get all the fins nice and neat again and cleaned them up. [ATTACH=full]601907[/ATTACH] Also fixed the ecu harness, which had a cut off head light lead then cleaned it all up to look like new. [ATTACH=full]601908[/ATTACH] Stripped the dash apart and seperated the frame and cover. Laid out the new dash harness to see how it fits, I need to notch out the area for where the fuse box mounts so it fits since its pretty different from the 98 style. [ATTACH=full]601909[/ATTACH] The area that needs notched out. [ATTACH=full]601910[/ATTACH] And the finished project, a tight fit but its in there. [ATTACH=full]601911[/ATTACH] So that was my sunday. Im brought the dash frame to my apartment with me, so Im going to buff some rust off quick and shoot it with a coat of primer to prevent more rust. [/QUOTE]
