Yesterday, Andy (eightsixgts) and I decided we'd tear into the cars a bit since it's starting to finally get nice out. We complete tore the interior out of the parts car and got the GTS harness into my coupe. A couple things I found out. Well, the GTS parts car didn't have power mirrors and my coupe did, but the power mirror harness isn't inside the GTS harness, so I guess I'm going out without power mirrors now. Also the GTS HVAC box was completely different than my coupe's HVAC box and half the connectors don't go together, so I guess it'll never have A/C. It's not a huge deal to me, but I did plan to set it up. Also a couple things I found that I've never heard from people doing GTS swap, but my neutral safety switch and brake switch were both completely different between the models. Not a big deal just swap them over, but I've never heard this problem with anyone else doing the swap.
We are planning do pull the motors within the next two weeks as our schedules work together.
Here's some pictures of the progress made yesterday.
