Finally finished up the wiring for the most part. All the lights are operational and everything outside of the hatch is in place. Inside the car I have some finish work to do, but I'm happy with the way this came out.



Instead of finding the wire under the steering column as planned, I ran wires straight to the front turn signals. The reason I didn't is because my chilton manual said the wire was green w/ yellow and when I got under the dash, I found 6 green w/ yellow wires and couldn't find my 12v test light to make sure I had the right one. I may switch it in the future because the way I ran the wires out of the engine compartment isn't the best and I'm worried the wires may snag or chaff causing a short. For now though, it's good. I'll have some more pics of the installation up tomorrow.

Now that I've got the wiring issue worked out, It's time to finally get to the window and coroplast skin. There should be a lot of progress tomorrow.
