Level 1 build thread....

Started to clean up some wiring issues. I did manage to get power to the fuse box which in turn have me
Tail lights
Wipers
Cig lighter
Interior lights etc.

Headlight harness will need repair. After trying to get the headlights to turn on for a few minutes with no success I decided to trace the wires and realized that the headlight portion of the harness was cut. Its obvious when looking at the bulkhead but I didn’t know which wires went where until slowing down and paying more attention.

I wired the headlights directly just to make sure they worked and it seemed like both wouldn’t shine the same brightness at the same time. One side was dim and one was bright. Possibly my rigged wiring. I also have to figure out why my power door locks, windows and sunroof aren’t working..... That’s another day.

You have a funny looking radio

Picked up a steering wheel locally but not sure if I’m using it in this or another project yet

Hope you guys are proud. I never solder and use heat shrink. I have always been a twist and tape guy. Finally got to wiring the bulkhead for acc and headlights. Still need to tuck and loom everything but want to make sure all is well first.

I plan on moving those relays off the firewall as well as changing the power wiring setup

Looks good! Pick up a couple rolls of Friction Tape at the hardware store. It's less gooey than e-tape for harness looming.

Still gathering parts... Probably hit some parts yards this weekend to search for seats. Would love to go back Gbody but at this point any black or gray leather will do

Well I thought I had discovered a rustoleum color that kinda matched my console...... WRONG

This stuff came out way too glossy.. lol.. But it will have to due for now

Just hit it with a scotchbrite very lightly to take the shine off
