Thus it begins

Underneath needs cleaning and touch up painting.The trunk floor was "repaired" at some time.

You can see the new rear harness getting ready to thread through. Also you can see what looks like some B5 blue where a "repair" was done. on the other side was white so 2 donor cars involved in this.

Good move to just replace the fuel system.
Cool that you are piecing together the history of the car. So far, two cars have died to save yours.

I agree, that didn't look too good.

We believe the car was wrecked at one time then sat and rusted out some before it was rebuilt in the late 80's early 90's. I had the car aligned when I bought it and the tire shop said it was off by 4 deg's. The car always tracked true and cornered great so I didn't worry about it. However now with my work on it finding swapped parts (headlight buckets B5 blue and fenders white) and some unfinished repairs it looks like she was traumatized at one point. At least someone put in the effort bring it back to running.

Waiting for some sealer to cure in the trunk and on the fuel tank so back to the spaghetti on the gage cluster and under dash.

Okay , health and weather is better so back to wiring again. Cluster is almost done now time to integrate dash wiring. Oh boy.

Looking good!

 

[thestuntboy]

Cluster is in. Now I have to route the wiring and account for all accessories. Nothing worse than cut your wire only to find you forgot/missed an extra wire. The included wiring diagram helps in that dept.

At least the Dougs headers don't have the steering going through the &you can change 5 & 7 spark plug !!

I moved up to Dougs because the other type of headers always dragged the ground when I hit a pothole. ( Our roads are bad) The fram was for install purposes since it was NOS sitting in the garage, I will be installing a MOPAR filter whether or not I remote the oil filtration.
