Re: 1968 AMC Rebel
The individual doors (windows actually) aren’t a problem - its the drivers door where it has switches for all 4 that’s the issue
I must’ve figured it out when I did my bodge up before, so I can do it again no doubt.

Re: 1968 AMC Rebel
Its also going to be one of those daft things where the end result isn’t any better as the window motors are too weedy.

Re: 1968 AMC Rebel
That's what I mean, do one door & link it to the driver's door. Then go to the next door & repeat.

Yeah, it'll be the same, just flip L and R on the diagram.
Those switches were worth getting, they do look nice.

Re: 1968 AMC Rebel
Last Monday I had the day off and my mate came over to help me start the engine swap.
We er....didn't get a huge amount done. Today is round two in which I hope for more progress but doubt it somehow.
He is the opposite of me - I am a gung ho twat who keeps breaking stuff.
He is a proper retired engineer who prefers to do things slowly and methodically - what could go wrong?

Re: 1968 AMC Rebel
Progress! We had a few moments that would have troubled the health and safety police in spite of both being quite risk averse, but no-one injured.
Now I just need to swap the transmission and few other bits and reverse the job.

That's going to be a while off while I swap the transmission and some other bits and redo the remote filter hoses and stuff. I was pleased with progress yesterday though. Glad we settled on pulling the engine and box - it's more work in theory, but I can do less of it grovelling around under the car.
A lot of work and home jobs are backing up though so it'll be a while.
Pleased I found another AMC engine for it - some people put small block chevies or Mopar lumps in them. I have seen some excellent ones, but it's nice to keep it stock.
