Thanks Robert for the photos. I have routed the wiring accordingly.

Yesterday I received the antenna, trunk mat, and front bumper fills and put them on the car. I couldn't get the bumper fills to align completely so I decided to glue them in with rubber trim adhesive in steps. I started by gluing the bottom section in, using tape to keep it aligned. After it set up overnight I used more of the adhesive and tape to continue to line up the bumper fills and glue them in place. With luck I can complete the job tomorrow.  



I wasn't happy with the shock tower caps that were painted purple. The paint was easily chipped and so I spent time today stripping all the paint off and then powdercoating them gloss black. I think they look a lot better now.  





Wouldn't you know that the side mirror would be a pain. Only the front mounting hole lined up with the door. I had purchased a kit from WCCC and riveted the rear nut-insert in place. It was nerve wracking making sure I had the mirror lined up before I took the plunge and drilled the hole for the insert.  



I received the halogen headlights and wiring kit but discovered I was missing the headlight buckets and trim rings. Once they arrive from WCCC I will be posting progress on this part of the car.
