Got home Thursday evening to the 'drip, drip, drip' of the water heater's top seal leaking. Great. So, I spent Friday replacing (moving the water softener out of the way and replacing the 'heater) and Saturday being all achy and unmotivated. The water heater emptied, fortunately, so it only weighed about 130lbs... no biggee. The new 'heater said 118lbs on the box, so it was no big deal. I'd just put 80lbs of salt in the water softener, and with its full tank, I'm guessing it was over 300lbs... had to use the floor jack to get it back into the "closet."
Yesterday, I stuffed a bunch of wires... and not much more. Got the leads for the amp (that will live in the trunk), and the extension cords for the driver-side power windows. I still haven't received the "correct" power circuit conduits for the doors, so I didn't cut any holes or run anything into the doors... but I did manage to get the passenger side lock actuator mounted.
Greg, the pictures for the power window units will be coming soon. The second set of conduits/boots I ordered (pictured earlier) are HUGE. I decided I did not want to cut 1-1/2" holes in the doors and A-pillars just for wiring. I got on ebay and ordered a set of used conduits from '79-'93 Mustang - hopefully, those will be less ridiculous in size. Otherwise, I may have to come up with something "custom." If you remember gpierce's thread regarding his Electric Life windows, I'm doing very much the same thing with the Autolocs: http://www.7173mustangs.com/thread-power-windows-for-your-convertible
I'll be adding to that thread once I get a little further down the road.
