I'm using a LINK ecu which I'm putting by the battery under the rear seat. I ran the wiring to the passenger compartment from the engine by fishing it up through the upper right side of the engine compartment. It comes in behind the right rear interior panel next to the back seat.

Well Jason, I havn't decided what to do about the waterlines.

This weekend and last, I installed the headlights, turn signals, front bumper, mirrors, wiper motor, tail lights... when I installed the mirrors, I wanted a frim mount instead of having only the two bolts holding on the sheet metal. So I cut a peice of aluminum and drilled two holes in it to act like a big washer. I forgot to take a picture.

I cleaned and put the rubber on the front and rear windows. I also set them on the car for a picture. The front glass is new but the rear is the original.



I worked on cleaning the windows while the fiberglass filler was curing. I needed to shorten the rear bumper on the sides where I widdened the rear fenders.

Getting closer.

Final mount before paint.



Ghia bumpers also mount on the ends of the blade, I had to replace 1 missing mount in the rear bumper and both missing mounts in the front. They turned out really good. I mounted the ends of both bumpers.

My help (wife) was sick this weekend. So I had to do everything myself.
