New tubes really add to the general fresh look to the front trunk. I had to make a bolt to hold the back of the winshield wiper assembly in place, but I got everything bolted up this weekend. Next comes the wiring in the dash I guess.

The wire mess looks a bit overwelming. Any advice is welcome. And yes I know the light switches are out of order

I found that laying out the wiring in the car gives you a general idea what
device the wires should go to. The wires are all about the right length to get
where they need to be without a lot of extra length. Get a color diagram from
Prospero's Garage. It is easier to read than the hanes B&W pictures and it is laminated and sweat proof. I think I got mine on ebay.

Here's some tips from an OLDE WORLDE mechanic that I plan to use pretty soon
when I finally hook up a battery to the car.

Put a 3 amp fuse between your battery and the positive wires. That way
the fuse will blow if you have a short instead of cooking your wiring.

Take all the fuses and relays out except the one for the circuit you are debugging.
Add them back one at a time as you work through the systems.

I have nearly all my wiring hooked up so we'll see soon how I did.
