OK, I just delivered my baby (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) home. Man, I can't wait to dive into the interior restoration and motor build. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

I didn't hang the door or put the lids on because I am waiting for new seals to be installed and they aren't here yet. Oh, Partsman, Partsman!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

These pictures in the shade don't do this paint justice. Tommorrow when the sun is up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Now that I got her back home, the real fun is just beginning. Today I took the main wiring harness out (Thanks Jeff Bowlsby) and began to reinstall. Everything from the fuse box forward is now in place. These pictures taken in the sun may show the paint better. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

If you have never removed the entire wiring harness, all I can say is that you must take your time. Reinstalling just the front section (by far the easiest) has taken about two hours. Figure at least 12 hours to get everything thru the tunnel, the two branches to each side under the seats and up the back pad, and then the real bitch, into the engine compartment.

One of my special areas is to remove all the wires from the relay under the passenger seat and then get them all back in the right place. Remember, if you screw this up the car won't start. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

I have to do the wiring work in small increments, otherwise you get very frustrated and make mistakes from fatigue. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

I have ofter wondered if I was quite mad to remove the main harness. I am sure I will curse the bastard who did this so I gotta fix it!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

In the next day I will find the driving lights and horns and reinstall them. At least the parts collection seems to be shrinking. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

Everyone who has seen the Lapis Blue Metallic loves it. I am very happy with the color and it has really moved me along in wanting to finish the project. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
