If FedEx tracking is correct I will be getting the wire loom and gasket set :dance

This past weekend completed securing the body to the pan. Dang could they use more bolts and worked on cleaning up frozen / broken little mounting screws. Also got bored and installed the wiper motor assembly.

The plan right now is too install the wiring and after that jump in the middle of three piece headlinerl.

You are gonna hate those outer scrapers, They are hell to put in and that particular brand only last about a year before they dry rot, hopefully you have some of the original clips.

I've heard about the scraper being fun and yes I kept the old ones. I have found through other projects .... Don't throw anything away.
Which scrapers are better?

The German ones are way better they are more than twice the price but well worth it. I think those Brazilian ones are around 19 bucks. but the fit and finish of the German ones are worth the extra ching chang. you put the two side by side and its a world of difference in quality.

And the wiring begins .... The main and interior lamp loops installed. On the main loop, how much of the loop should be exposed in the trunk and engine compartment area?

I like to hook all the wires from the main harness into everything, make it look neat and then pull the slack out the back end.
