so i'm a dumbass and didn't attach the wiper switch ground when i put the column back together. got that taken care of so i have wipers now. still no headlights but i'm pretty sure i'm just blatantly missing the low beam relay so i need to source one of those, hopefully it's just that simple. my gauge cluster lights are not working. i think maybe none of the interior illumination works without the headlights working so i'm gonna fix the headlights first then figure out the gauge lighting if there are still problems afterward. aside from that my stock seatbelts don't fit around the roll bar very well so i'm going to build some brackets that will move the upper guide back an inch or two to allow more room for the belts to move around. since the weird stock sliding brackets for the bottom don't fit with the roll bar i'm just using a regular guide and 3 bar harness tensioner for the bottom. similar to the configuration on the right in this picture:



instead of stock which looks like this:

build looks awesome. i like the black bumpers with the red.

been buttoning up small things here and there. current major obstacles are why my headlights aren't working, exhaust stuff, dash install, windshield, and making these bad boys fit:

reinstalled my hood yesterday for the first time since i bought the car in december. also test fitted the wheels and tires. my rears are already rolled a little but they need to be done a little better, and the fronts need to be rolled as well.

i am excruciatingly close to buttoning things up. i took the car out for a drive and a fresh tank of gas/seafoam this evening. i need to go get a windshield put in tomorrow, then roll the rear fenders. after the roll it's safety/inspection time so hopefully i pass. if i pass that i will be road ready. there's just a ton of random shit i wanna do while i'm driving the car though.

current pressing issues:
spongy brake pedal (need to bleed them)
no interior lights other than on my aftermarket gauges
running a little warm after a long time
hesitated throttle response

here are some mostly finished interior pics (not yet ruined by my ugly tan comfort passenger seat that's going back in):

So dope. How hard was the dash to cover?

So dope. How hard was the dash to cover?

it was kinda hectic because of the cure time but not exactly "hard". now that i'm done i wish i would have spent more time on it. it looks good but could be much better.

i got a windshield put in yesterday and drove the car a bit more. it's running okay but the throttle response is pretty weak and the power feels super peaky at about 3000rpms. still working out cluster issues. i have no lighting, no fuel gauge, and no speedo. luckily i can pass insp. without a speedo so i'm gonna give it a shot monday morning.

my rear tires are rubbing pretty nasty like so i'm gonna have to redo the fender roll and pull them a bit or just let it ride. i hate rubbing on brand new tires though.

Im so glad I live in the sticks. My inspection is they ask the year and mileage and im done haha. I wanna try and cover my dash in alcantara

[mitchlikesbikes]

ran some seafoam through the intake today. seems to be running pretty well. emissions and inspection tomorrow

[mitchlikesbikes]

car passed safety and emissions first try with no issues. so relieved. i drove it a bunch today and it seems to be running pretty well. rear tires are rubbing bad so im gonna have to figure that out. i need to plug my sunroof hole too. the airflow through it at 60mph+ causes the roof to vibrate and go nuts
