WHAT TO DO NEXT?
Hi guys and gals!
I wasn´t at the forum for quite a time now, but that doesn´t mean that my project has come to a standstill.
My car is already painted!! :party: and I´ll post some pics in the near future.
I have to clean up the car a bit and wait for a sunny day :yesnod:
It turned out great, I´m really happy with the color I chose.
It´s named medium blue metallic (GM).
The next things on my to do list are to check all the bolts and screws of the entire car and to clean it up a bit.
After that, ...... I don´t really know what the next step should be.....
I guess I should start putting in all the harnesses, right?
The body is like a nutshell at the moment, there´s nothing in there.
No carpet, no insulation material except those thin bitumen mats, no seats, no pedals, simply nothing.
Should I buy new harnesses (I think there are three of them for the entire car) or should I check the old ones?
And where can I purchase these harnesses with all the correct connectors so that I won´t run into problems?
What about painless wiring?
I defenitely need some help now. Any suggestions?

Well, if I had my body off and was as far as you are I would definately spend the money and get new harnesses. The insulation on these old ones does tend to get brittle. I have been thinking about getting a rear harness for mine, before I put the carpet in.

Sounds great !! I love the med metallic blue - second only to black.
I know you disagree here :p: .
My friend has a 73 - bought it as med metallic blue. It looked good, but in
need of paint. He chose to go with black (no regrets). But - we still recall how
nice that blue color was. :yesnod:
Can't wait to see her. :thumbs: :cheers: :seeya

Markus if you can install a new harness, there probably won't be a better time to do it ;) .
Glad to hear she's all painted now, must look incredible :smash:

I´ve done so much to the car until now, I should defenitely spend the $ on new harnesses too.
To be honest, there are some parts left to be painted, the doors, the bumpers and the hood.
BUT the mainbody is finished and the T-Tops too.
I hope it doesn´t rain today, maybe I´m able to make a few shots...
As always, Markus

I almost forgot about you :lol: Just kidding. I did actually wonder why I hadn't seen any posts from you. Glad to hear your car is painted. I can't wait to see how it came out. I'm sure it's beautiful! :thumbs:
