Just a quick update, i finally got the trans lines done, the catch can mounted and plumbed up, got my issue with my windows sorted out, fixed the wiring so now the alt wire runs all the way to the back of the car, and started working on power steering lines.


also made up some spark plug wires, they are extremely tight, going to have to put boots on both ends to try and protect them

Quick little update, a friend of mine lent me some gauges to get me by for the meantime (until i gather enough coin to get the Dakota Digital VHX setup). I whipped up a quick temporary gauge plate out of Plexiglas and had a friend wrap it in carbon fiber material. It didn't turn out to bad for only taking me an hour or so.



going to run the signal wires tonight and hopefully get my linelock wired up and working too.
One weird thing i cant figure out, maybe someone has input. The turn signals both work perfectly when I don't have the lights on for the car. But when I turn the lights on, only the left one flashes, if I turn the right turn signal on, I can hear it clicking, the exterior signals are all flashing, but the light on my dash doesn't flicker............any ideas?

No speedo? On the turn signals, might be a bad ground. Grounding problems can cause lights to do some strange things.

No speedo for now, the cars original speedo never worked to begin with so I'm kind of used to it lol. I will have to run through all the grounds again tonight.
