Waited until about noon today for the temps to get into the high 30's, and then fired up my tank mounted radiant propane heater to take the chill off the shop and went to work for a few hours.
I got the differential cover on and sealed, and mounted the battery box in the trunk. Then cut off some unnecessary metal in the trunk that was for the subfloor for the spare tire. I'll keep things as low and flat as possible, so don't need two floors.
Then I got the wiring harness and fuse block out and began trying to figure out where it could be mounted to be able to troubleshoot, but not end up where I couldn't conceal the wiring. I finally chose the left side up high under the dash where the old hand brake once mounted. It's not the perfect spot, but it is the best spot I could mount it and still be able to make the steering column connectors reach, and also be out of the way.
I got the steering column plugs pinned, and snapped together, but that was about it. It's a real rat's nest of wires right now. I'll get things routed to the front and rear, and then I can work on tidying up a bit. Can't cut too many wire ties until I do route groups, or I'll have an even bigger mess to deal with!
Pardon the poor picture quality. Left the camera in the house, so took a few pics with my crappy cell phone.
