I added a new fuse holder, replaced the one that melted from E-fans.  I went with a blue-sea brand one 30 amp per and 100 amp total. I also we routed the wires so I could but it in the truck area with the battery.  I ran an 8 ga wire to it from battery and 10ga wire to the accessories.  I am running my low and high headlights, fog lights, fuel pump, and a 12volt accessory with relay.  I just have it temporary where it is in the picture, left enough wire so I can move when I started putting interior back in.

Well I received my struts today, and I scored some 13 rotor and calibers that will be here on Friday.  I also got a speedo plug for the T5 since I am not running a speedo.  I also got the proportion valve plug and sn95 brake line adapter.  Waiting on front spring isolators.  I will get some 94 ball joints also.

finally strolled back through this thread,, its amazing how much time it really takes to restore.

way back when I saw your power distribution block I wish I would have posted back then with the efan that thing was too small.
however, I use the same one and you can open it up and basically "double up the copper laminations".  I liked it because of its small profile.

I would rather have a long 10pos distribution block which I have now found, home made.

great work!!!

and that spoiler,, what are the odds of them still having it!  nice work
