The Miatini had to have its wiring harness removed as well. Note the light blue/orange airbag connectors, as well as the light blue airbag ECU.

I simply rolled it over to the red chassis, lowered the body and placed it onto the drivetrain.

The white Miatini came with all sorts of unnecessary crap such as power steering (yikes!), air con (yuk!) and the likes. Removing all those additional wires, hoses etc. was a first for me.

I also resealed the engine that was leaking quite heavily. Upon inspection I discovered that not only the thin 0W-40 oil was at fault but also that the front main crank seal was popping out. Code brown in full effect!

Since I transferred the airbag system from the white Miatini into Rosso, I had to change the sttering column. That subsequently meant I had to swap ALL locks between the two cars, including the trunk lock :-/

Again, wider stripes. IMHO most stripers choose widths that are too conservative.
