I thought about wiring it myself but there is a lot to wire. the 83 harness is in good shape. Only it has more wires that the 76 had. I am using the electricss for the doors, the air conditioning even though I had to fabricate some metal parts that were previously made of plastic. I have the air unit in place in the front storage area. still have to tie the lines down. The newer car also had the fan operated oil cooler which i put on. Had to do a little straightening on it. though. I thought about going to a Late model BMW fuze panel but it is also a lot of work and I want to cut time to do it down. I have relatives in Oklahoma that I havent seen in 50 years and when the car is done. I'm gone. The wife has said its fine with her, she thinks I should. I was in the service when I bought the car in Dusseldorf. It was blowing oil so bad that it really smoked. I was going to rebuild the engine but places wanted 7000 to 9000 just to rebuild my old engine. I was going to hop it up a little but Ca passed a new law saying all 76 and newer vehicles require smog forever. I waited over 14 years for 2006 to get the car old enough not to need it then they got me. So I bought the other car for less than the price of the rebuild. Had nice air, new exhaust, new struts, new tires and like new rims, I have some seats if anyone wants to buy them. I like mine better. So I got a ton of parts. Now, I found that the torsion tube on one side is rusted through. May have and easy fix though. The caps are the same size so I am going to get another set, cut the top and bottom off and weld it in. I hope to be able to show updates on progress as I go. Should know a lot more about the car by the time I get it finished.
