So many wires...
Our progress on the electricals is far from finished, but at least you can now see our progress in pictures. You can tell by the number of fuses that we've removed from the fuse panel that we've been whittling down the wiring.


Our big accomplishment this weekend was to get the rear wiring harness finished! You can see it in the picture below as a dark line emerging to the left of the silver differential cover and working its way around to the fuel tank.


We had to redo the circuits for the brake lights, running lights and blinkers since we have fewer lamps than the original car had. We're planning to buy a license plate frame that contains white LEDs acting as a reverse light.

We turned our attention to the dash area and whittled away there as well. We pulled wires for the stereo and airbag system, as well as for the old instrument cluster.

Most of the wires are accumulating in a pile. We're not throwing anything away until we've proven the wires in the car actually work!
We're ready to start building the ignition circuits. Stay tuned!
