I have been working all Eastern time with the car. Alone a slow progress but something has happened.

Connected battery first time. There was several problems with groundings but now all lights, horn, wipers, fan etc are working.

Got also some help and now new AAR hood is installed. Still waiting for correct springs for hinges to get it adjusted properly. Still wondering if I paint it red or black. What do you guys think about that?

I have done several other things as well. Hopefylly car is rolling tomorrow. It would be first time since 2003!!

The car's really coming along nicely! :cheers:  As for the AAR hood, I'd leave it matte black since the rest of the AAR theme is prevalent throughout the exterior. :thumbsup:  Red would probably also look really nice, but it just looks more sinister being blacked out. ;)

Hi, I imported that battery by myself. We are buying cars all the time from USA and we use those as a mule for our parts.

I go missing molding from a member of this forum.
