The car is for my son so I'm not sure of there will be a build thread.  He just wanted something to tinker with.

Heading out to get the car in the morning!

what'd you do with the car? IS it running yet?

We did get the car running but it has all kinds of wiring issues so it's taken back apart to sort them out.  The car had an alarm at some point so there are cuts and splices all over the place that we are getting rid of and restoring the factory wiring.  We also currently have the dash out to install the clutch pedal for the upcoming 5 speed swap, and to fix more wiring, lol.

Holy cow.  I literally had no idea!  I feel a little better knowing that you have a couple of good harnesses to use...
