The wiring has been trimmed back to a point were I think the car will start. I currently still need to use the original Toyota junction boxes. This is not such a bad thing except for the fuse boxes that were in the drivers and passenger side doors. These are ugly and unnecessary, although that being said they could stay until I get the car on the road. Current the path of least resistance.
As can also be seen from the pictures the fuel pump is in its final location, and the fuel lines are all in. Only things to worry about now is finishing the fuel filler neck, return lines and the charcoal canister. Then I can seal the tank and get on with starting the motor minus the headers. I am guessing it is going to be very loud.
Also burred in the pictures you can see the brake lines and clutch lines are fully plumbed in and ready for the next step. I think the bradded lines look really good.
The radiator, not shown, is also ready to be plumbed in. It has all been trial fitted with the factory fan and a colt radiator from an auto. I trimmed the oil in and out lines from the radiator and decided not to seal them up. I was concerned that I would create a pressure container as the radiator heated and cooled. Only worry now is rusting with it being to the open air. If it starts to leak a will deal with it from there.
I should be ready to put the engine back in for the last time in the coming weeks for starting. Then it is a long march of paneling and little jobs to the finish line which is December of this year otherwise the motor will need to be replaced with something newer. This will mean a new engine, gearbox and wiring job, and at least a year extension before it is on the road.
Enough blogging and back to the building....
