Nice build! One thing though I'm surprised no one has told you, your euro cluster you got has a 63L fuel gauge. Because your cars a early model, your going to need a 55L gauge, because you have a 55L tank. You can still use the 63L, but it will read half tank when your stuck, out of gas on the side of the road.

If worst comes to worst I can take the fuel gauge from the old cluster and put it in there. It won't be euro but it will be accurate.

Got the battery relocated and mounted the ignition coil. All I need to do is mount the charcoal canister. Also need to work on an exhaust system but I need to buy some Ireland engineering headers first. Should also get a O2 sensor but that will come when an exhaust comes. I need to finish my wiring to like getting the tax wired and getting the gauge cluster working properly I would like to also grab a water temp gauge so I don't have to rely on dummy gauge. O and quick bay shot cause I can and its pwetty
edit: In case your wondering about the string I'm working with Roccob517 to make a strut brace for m30 swapped cars that's the style of his m50 swapped strut bars.

So I've been working on the car getting it ready for paint. I'm hoping to have it at the body shop by Halloween. I've been collecting parts to put on after its painted. Today I ordered revshift subframe bushings and mishimoto electric fan. I got everything to put my rear suspension on so now all I need to do is get off my ass. I also decided to think long and hard on a parts list of everything I need to get the car in 100% condition and to my surprise its getting really short I cant wait until I can drive this beast.
Heres my list:
While working on the car today i stripped the rock guard off the driver side rocker panel and I'm glad I did I found two patches of rust that hadn't made it to the surface yet glad I found them so I can fix it before paint
I also now have to replace the rear bumper mount on the rear quarter panel cause it was rotted more then I thought. So now that I got more welding to do I'll probably shave my antenna the proper way :)
That's all for now I hope to have the rust patches done in a week or so and since those rust spots are in hidden places I begin sanding the body for paint cause i wont have to sand those areas as the rockers will get rock guard again and the bumper mount will be hidden by the end cap. I'm hoping that I can get the car back mid November from paint and can put all the misc trim back on over the winter and have a awesome ready to roll hot rod the first nice day of spring.

Yea they are on the list. Can you still buy gauges new. Cause I need a 55L euro gauge. I priced my list out and I'm gonna need around 1500 to finish my car.
