Spaghetti! Wiring takes time, cleaning up hack jobs to wiring takes even longer. It's looking great, very clean.

Thanks Luke! Not too late. Those guys up at RD have been very helpful...especially Peter.
Just ordered a big rubber batch from 914 Rubber and my stainless fuel lines from Tangerine racing.
Lots going to get done this weekend. Spent a few hours on Sunday making my trannie look less like a baked on grease bomb.

Thanks for posting that link Luke. Even though my car is done, I thoroughly enjoyed that harness installation video. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Four big boxes of stuff arrived from 914Rubber. New dash, bumpertops and miles of rubber seals. Going to work from the front to the rear of the car. Lights horns and fogs first. The mechanisms were incorrectly painted black by the painter, They are now the correct grey. Attached Image

One of my horns worked (barely) and the other not at all. I disassembled the horns, repaired them, sandblasted and now will paint. I am to assume the same grey as used on the headlight mechanism?Attached Image

Final challenge for the day. I am trying to emulate the yellow zinc on my rear calipers...for my front alu Bremtek race calipers. Back and forth over what is the best way to do this...without sending them out. Picked up some yellow anodize colored rattle can high temp paint. Tried on some raw alu and color didn't come close. I picked up a rattle can of high heat gold and will spray the gold and then try to "dust" the gold color with the yellow anodize to see how close I can come.Attached Image

Thanks guys! Working on the front of the car today, and the calipers. I have the parts diagram for the headlight assembly, but it would be a lot easier if I had a picture of the mechanism without the surround and louver so I could see the assembly. I also have the L and R black plastic covers for the sides of the lights. My understanding was that the covers were on 72 and later cars? A lot of what I am finding would suggest some parts of the front of the car are not original...but I have seen no evidence of a "hit" or repair. Maybe just PO doing minor repairs/upgrades?

Horns restored and wired in. Rest of headlight parts sandblasted, painted and waiting for plastic bushings. Louver motors cleaned, turn housings degreased and ready for sandblasting and paint. Boots installed on wiring corners.
