What is an OVP?

funkgab

overload protection relay.. i think it controls the idle speed and abs :/ as when it goes bad, idle or abs seems to be the common problems

In reading the refinishing posts from others they said if you use a chemical stripper it would melt the plastic. i didn't want to find out the hard way they were right ... so I just removed it form the beginning.

As for the gloss, yes I want something like the original. A nice think gloss would be great. Not sure how its going to turn out but thats almost half the fun.

I don't know about skills. This is the first time I tried this ... and there has been alot of #@$%^$% in the garage, several injured fingers and alot of time. We will see how it comes out.

A few other finds I needed



well I didn't need this one but I became obsessed ever since Zorro posted the set for sale.





And the drivers side sun visor to replace my broken one. That already got installed.

If anyone finds a driver's side clear turn signal for the front, I'm interested. I found the right side at a pick a part in Rialto. Just need the left.

I will keep my eyes open for one. I need the amber (euro) passenger side one.

BJaltima

Thank you. I wish I could tell more of a difference between regular ambers and the euros and would have known you were looking, since I have been to damn near every self-serve dismantler in Southern California.

you ever think about doing a two tone, because the bottom dosent look too bad, maybe just paint the top a black or a dark green, it would save some cash

ocpanther

I am not a real fan of having a lighter bottom with a darker top. My big goal it to get it all black on black.

I have all the seats and interior parts now, just need a new carpet. I want to get it all clean and comfortable then I will look into getting it all painted.

Here is the new painted grill installed on the car with my euros. the first is relaly dark, but you can tell I didn't paint the chrome. The second is with the flash.







What do you think?

Doh! The handle strikes again!

Looks great otherwise

ocpanther

lol about the handle. I saw it too just when I was putting it on ... I will get it when I switch it again for the new hood star and the other grille insert.

This is my first trial attempt. I am working on the real insert now with new paint and better prep. I am hoping it comes out even better, I just didn't want to drive around with no grille while I worked on the final one.

^ I think he is talking about the Gen II side markers.

ocpanther

That is the correct side I need, but it doesn't look at orange as the one above in my pictures. I think th last two numbers of the part number are 28 or 29 depending on which side its for. If its Bosch there should be a yellow tag on the back with the numbers.

The one in your picture kinda looks like the facelifted ones that were less yellow than the older ones but not as orange as the euro ones.

I might have the dark orange one. but if i don't i'll keep an eye out for one.

ocpanther

Thanks ! I swear I saw it walking out the front gate as I was coming into the yard

BJaltima

and then I'll buy your driver's side euro (clear) :p
