- Installed the windshield (windscreen for you Brits out there)
- Installed sun visors (I don't know what Brits call them)
- Fit the accelerator pedal (found the bolts)
- Fit the footwell and defroster vents
- Installed the passenger's side window
- Bled the braking system
- Installed new parking brake rods and hooked up the parking brake
So my car can now stop in two ways, and I won't get bugs in my teeth. All I need is to make it go.
For some reason, the fitting I made for the clutch line is leaking. I'll have to make a new fitting. And it turns out that putting the pistons in backwards in the master cylinder lets all of the brake fluid out. I'll remember that for the next time I do this, which will be never. But the brakes work great; a high and hard pedal that's even better than I remember.
Oh, so close... next up after the engine is:
- Finish wiring the ignition system and gauges, which means I need to install the dash, so I have to install the dash crash pad and tonneau fittings
- Install cooling system and oil cooler
- Fit carburetors
- Make exhaust pipe and install exhaust
- Fill with fluids
- Light the fire
