Multi-speed Honda wiper motor adapted to the Cortina wiper arms! Mounted in the car below.
Here's the bulk of the harness splayed out and partially unwrapped.
Lots of labeling.
Bare harness back in the car, and some of the removed wires in boxes.
Good Times! During this part I was able to make (one of) the headlights and turn signals work with the factory headlight stalk / switch.
I also sawzalled the trunk, sectioned a piece out to fit the tank and rewelded the edge. You can tell by the not-so-elegant welds that I did it myself.
