Thanks, I think I have concluded that it is a spare sensor that belongs to the old door

We have continued our work with the bodywork in order to get it through the registration process.

Here is the mold pieced together

Aluminum foil to keep the fibreglass from sticking to the mold

The fibreglass is wetted down with the polyester. This is a quick way of getting a fairly decent front bumber. For a more weight and strength effective end product, Custommania uses a vacuum pump to evacuate air and excessive polyester resin.

pretty nice project. Looks to me, though, as if not only the battery is dead and the interior needs some clean-up King Good luck, keep us posted!

I have gotten some work done in the past days. Since this is an american car made for the american market it needs some modifications before it can pass an inspection in Sweden.

One major issue is the lights. In Sweden (and the rest of Europe??), the turn signal must be yellow, the daytime running light has to be white and the car must be equipped with turn signal lights on the front fenders.

In order to "fool" the system, I have used the turn signal that goes to the front turn signal and have connected it to a relay.
[Bild: 8e220091051539d94.jpg]

This means that the car does not "see" the new turn signals. If I was to just parallell-wire the new turn signal the turn signal would blink very slowly or the car would register the extra amps needed as a fault in the circuit.

I then connected my new turn signal to turn signal lights at the front fender

And then to the rear turn signal light, I purchased a used wire harness which was modified to fit the ugly Euro outer rear tail lights.

The original rear turn signal and brake light signal is now disconnected and in order to avoid a fast-repeating turn signal I have to simulate the org lights. For this I used resistors mounted on metal plates to keep them cool.

I now have the turning signals the way i want them, but no brake signal. In the last picture you can see the relay for the new brake signal, for this I used the signal from the trunk brake light.

This only leaves the yellow daytime running light which I simply disconnected with new connectors.

All of the cutting of the org harnesses has been done so that it can all be connected back to its original shape using the water-tight connectors.

Hello Joakim,

you can change the US-cables into Euro-Cables (under the rear bumber)... then you must program the system to EU-Code (Corvette-Garage), then the lights are working like every other EU-Corvette.

So you mustn`t install relays and so on... I think it will be easier.

Best Regards... Sascha

Thanks for the tip but the harness and a reprogramming cost more and I would rather use the US-lights once the car has passed the inspection. This way I can easily switch back and fourth.

I can understand it... the US-lights shows really better Feixen

In this moment i have the same problem, but I change from EU- to US-lights... the other way than you.

I will make it with the US-cables and the programming.

You have a lot of work with your car... I have respect for this rebuilding, Kudos to you. Respekt

It is moving slowly forward, the front fenders are in decent enough shape to hopefully pass the registration process. However, we do need to modify it a lot in ordr make it line up with the rest of the car and I also need to move the wheel outwards.

Does anyone have information regarding how wide the wheelbase is on the Z06 and C6? Offset on factory rims?

I mean track width, not wheel base... I got them mixed up
