Since my clutch pedal assembly is broke i have to basically tear everything out to get to it. Not fun at all. Got this far today. Going to try to work again tomorrow and get it pulled out. then take it to work and try to fix it.

If you look at the part between the coil spring and the bolt sticking out there, that is the part that is broke. It is the guide for the clutch cable and is suppose to hole it in place when you push the clutch pedal. It broke so basically i have a a non working clutch. So if i can get this assembly pulled out i may be able to fix it. Then i have to put it all back together....

Since i have the dash out, should i just make a whole new dash?

A whole new dash would be freaking awesome, it's a TON of work and it cost us about 400 in materials. But I'm tuned in for it!!!!

If i replaced it i would end up spending more than 400, have to get rid of those old ugly gauges with new white face ones, plus all the fleece, resin, chop mat, mdf... lol

I have a lot of stuff planned. Since i am replacing the ALT i am going to change the timing belt and water pump too. 200k miles on the engine and i don't know when the last time it was done. There are a few odds and ends left too. Got to repair my clutch pedal assembly. I have a guy at work that can weld it for me so we will see how that goes. Here is a pic of that happend to it.

the thing broke in two places. So hopefully we can get it bent back straight and welded up good. Not very heavy metal so might have to add an extra brace so i don't have this problem again. Otherwise I have to spend $100 on a used one that might not be much better than mine.

So, i got the Clutch assembly in, Steering column back in, Wiring all plugged back in. Floorboards cleaned up. The back half of the car is a disaster right now.

This is what i got done today, but it stated snowing as i was finishing. So this is all i could get done for today. Stay tuned as i will be starting to lay deadener, Starting to build a new dash, door panels, and the wall. I have wiring to do and a few parts to get. Should be done be 2015 lol.

edit:

[Jessica]

So much cleaning to do yet.

Leaving a comment so I can keep up to date on the crazy fabrication. I would like to do a custom one-off dash too. I'm a big chicken though lol.

[TNichy]

I'm liking where this is going. Nice work. Great job with the freehand cutting too.
