With the correct tools that I bought this took me 30 min.

Did you buy new springs too?
For the shift pins, yes.

It's been awhile since I updated this. Nothing too big to report.
I met up with Snap yesterday at the applebees parking lot to do a powder exchange. He had his kids in the car to be super undercover...
Also cleaned up, lubed, installed new gates and springs in the passenger key cylinder.
Also bought a battery tender.

Hahaha. I forgot about that. The FBI has to have some pictures! Only if your kids were old enough to know what daddy was up to.

Finally got the 5th and reverse pins on the new to me ZF trans. I was in a hurry and accidently pushed the old reverse bushing into the transmission and then I had two open houses (5726 N. Lydell and 3515 N. Summit). I was sick to my stomach the majority of the day.
With some new needle nose pliers and a magnit I got it out.
Some other random pics testing my new lens.
Also took some detailed pictures of my wing. I forgot to set the camera to the best detailed pictures. It is at its lowest resolution setting.

Got the new door latch installed.
New gates, springs, cleaned and lubed lock cylinder.
Locked in.
Good to go!
Duct taped up the holes.
Now just need to install these actuators to trouble shoot my central locking system.

Attending to the drivers lock.
This might be a problem.
All done!

Took my attention to the trunk. Replaced the gas door acuator and the trunk latch. Both were seized up.
I am in need of the linkage that connects the trunk latch to the acuator.

Started on the divers door wiring. Didn't take too many pics but I sorted out the interior light wiring and now both interior lights work when the door opens!! Ah, the little things. The PO had pulled the 30amp fuse 27 and you'll see why.
I still would like the exterior handle to trigger the interior lights prior to entry but I am having trouble finding a picture of how the mechanism works inside the door and if I'm missing a striker(?) piece, that would close the connection triggering the interior light timing control, which I think I am.
I combed through the wiring schematics and tracked down the C503 connector and bypassed that by crimping the BR/GN wires together and the BR ones the like. The pics I have are of how the PO had them after I unwrapped of what seemed to be 2 feet of electrical tape.
The C503 connector has three wires coming from the chassis to the connector the RD/BLK is there but isn't used.
That is where the PO had a short or didn't know what he was doing and this happened.
Fire, Fire!!
