Any advice for '95 Sidekick restoration?
#14
id do all things, that make hard jobs more easy
surely a fully fitted out body is that, leaving room for together engine/trans drop in, rad out, and front off better. as seen now.
exhaust is last, if a/t
the cat hits the transmision on a/t/
do dont know your trans.there. only engine.
the exh, last can help in all cases. is my guess. but can be tied to side with 5speed engine drop. on a/t the trans likes to jam against the CAT.
a rolling chassis. with only front and rad missing
and if a/t no front exh. sections.

id work in the body first.even workng brakes.
jacking working on a body ,sans engine,andtrans is more easy ,lighter an safer. and if 2 people , perfect , one works body,other engine-trans
what i do, is while engine is in machine shop, getting fitted out, i work body 100%

if 4wd?, last is prop shafts then lube the transfer case. after eng/trans drop

rolling chassis are easy to work,
you can stand in enging bay and do things, fix harness there,fiddle brake parts, and more.

new wire are near impossible. no connectors sold (unless each is pig tail spliced, and that be ugly.)
id inspect the stock harnesses clean and retape it.
most are good, or repair with new splices and shrink tubing
i spent a whole day under hood making all harness super good, .

make sue pins are not damaged, all. there.
