Finally got a little motivation.

I attempted to construct a throttle that would attach to the gear shifter and use a bike handle or something similar, but decided it wasn't worth my time with me focusing on getting it running before I focus on making it nice. As such, right now the throttle is bolted in and I added a handle (dowel rod) to use it.

I also couldn't find a way to mount the gauge needed that wouldn't be in the way, so I had to go a bit ricer and get an Impreza A-pillar mount for it. Went ahead and got a double since I plan to also install a ATF temp gauge sooner or later. It isn't a perfect fit, but it's pretty close. I'm sure with some work I could trim it up and paint it to look better.

Also got several anderson powerpole connectors/ring connectors, and am working on the small wiring harness now. Added the powerpoles to go to the throttle and will be adding some ring connectors for the main solenoid once I figure out where I'm going to mount it.

That's all for now!
