@uropartsman I can't tell you how pleased Glenn and I have been with the URO parts we have been using for this build. It has all fit very well and is close to stock in appearance. I know you probably have multiple suppliers with varied levels of quality and fit, but thus far we have not been disappointed.

Thank you for your feedback Targa70, we're thrilled to be a part of your amazing restoration!

I received an email with questions:
Wanted to know the color light ivory what brand of paint was that ? there’s so many brands.
Although I did not paint the car I know they used PPG (some prefer Glasurit paint)
OEM code 131,L80E - HELLELFENBIEN

also the under body and fender wells I see the texture on it what type did you use on that under coating then painted over it with the ivory ?
The texture is achieved using Wurth Body Schutz

Last week I encountered a very strange malfunction while assembling the final switching and wiring. The “start” mode of the ignition switch would turn on the headlights and when in “run” mode the headlight switch engaged the starter…yes you read that correctly! I said the STARTER!

My first assumption was a faulty ignition switch because I did not think the wiring harness would be at fault, I was wrong. After installing the new ignition switch the symptoms remained.

Sunday I found that the ignition switch connection that was supposed to go to the relay board was in fact connected to the headlight switch somehow.

Yesterday I enlisted the help of Mark Kinnaman @Bartlett 914 After a couple hours we were able to find the wire that connected to the relay board, it was erroneously connected to the turn signal switch. While running thru the fuse panel a couple other wires were found to be incorrectly connected.

I will put together a report and hopefully Kroon can prevent this from happening on future harness builds.

Thanks Mark!

Hi Glenn,

I'm glad you figured out the issue. When was your harness made?
I hope that my new Kroon harness doesn't have this issue.

I would add that when you turned on the lights. The starter would engage. Real fun!

@Bartlett 914 and I got after the wiring fix last night, headlights work and starter only work when ignition switch is in "START" position. Tracking down the horn issue and then wiring in fog light switch because they setup to run only when high beams are on.
