Yep brackets look pretty rough along with the wiring. I still need to round it off and paint it. I'm putting the battery in the boot at the moment, along with a surge tank(just waiting for ali fuel line).
That said every thing works fine and I'm proud of the fact I've done the hole car ( rust removal, 2pak paint,engine,w58 gearbox,retro-fitting power windows including new mechanism/ rollers, rebuild wrecked 8 way power seats from CV8 monaro/Pontiac GTO and more) myself in the back yard shed. I live 500kms from the nearest capital city and had a budget of only $15000 for the hole project. I,m a full time carer (disabled son+ three other kids) and have no trade training at all. All this and the car is a daily driver (it was off the road for about 6 weeks).
Anyway thats my story, yawn...I encourage any one to have a go at any thing, but listen to all advice but don't be afraid of doing things a little different.
