Lots of updates today. Put a new battery in, out the passenger tire back on. Replaced the driverside tire with the a 91 rim that came with #74. Still need to resolve the flat gator back.

First things first. Found a partial stamping on the oil pan boss when changing the tire:

When I connected the battery she started showing signs of life:

But I now know why the Odometer is under reporting the miles...

Not sure maybe the 8000RPM dash wasn't ready yet, but I doubt that.

Sucks on the cluster. There was a guy selling one for about 5k a couple of years ago.

Like seeing the progress pics. Extremely cool.

Electrical Systems check on battery install:

1. Wipers work all settings
2. Both power windows roll up and down
3. Door chime works
4. Door ajdar works.
5. Radio works, but not through all speakers.
6. Power antenna works.
7. Dome/courtesy lights work and time off delay works.
8. Headlights work, drivers side amber light doesn't.
9. Power mirrors work. both drivers and passenger side
10. Dash information functions for Trip odo and Volts.
11. Dash information displays "Err" on Oil Pressure, Coolant Temp, Range, Instant MPG.

That's the cluster out of #75. I traded emails with the guy back when he had it up on ebay and forsale on cf. Was selling the console armrest with SPI as well. #75 is reported by carfax as destroyed at a salvage yard in MI.

I need to find out if the 8K was in the pilot. There is a ton of things different between #004 and #074 so I am hoping!.

Front tires/wheel dates

Passenger Tire Date: 028 2nd Week (January) of 1988
Passenger Wheel Date: 02/29/88 Leap Year!
Drivers Tire Date: 098 9th Week (February) of 1988
Drivers Wheel Date: 01/29/88

These match with the assumption that this ZR-1 was assembled in 3/88
