Let me start by saying that when I went outside I had every intention on starting my half doors, but when I got outside I figured I would go ahead and trim my fenders like the guy did on BII.org he did a pretty good write up on it so as I started to take the fenders off I started thinking I got this much off whats a few more parts so I decided to go ahead with the gen1 swap.
So far I have everything unbolted all the harness taken loose all that remains is drilling out the 20 or so spot welds and then the gen2 clip is off. Now I am not sure how others have done this swap but I am removing the inner fenders from the firewall not just taking the core support. I already have the Gen1 clip ready to go in just waiting on getting the gen2 out.
I also started to layout the cuts on the fender cause I am gonna trim them before I install them they will have a pretty wicked cut on them getting rid of a lot of metal.
in some of the pictures you will see blue tape I plan on cutting from the tape down meaning after the cut has been made the tape will still be there.
I should have it back together by the end of the week I will take notes and pics incase anyone is interested in the swap.
