I had mine labeled as grounded to one of the bolts of the wiper motor.

I can't recall off the top of my head, I'll look next time I'm at the garage. I'll assume you're referring to the old recipe, Sicks, Lethbridge, Pilsner. White, green, and red label? Can't remember when the rabbit was introduced. Unfortunately, it is no longer the same. If you can find the Sterling Silver Pilsner from town square brewing in Edmonton, it's far superior. However it's a "craft" beer, and so, twice the price.

Your AC car maybe different than my heater only beater, but mine appears to go thru to the cabin.

The stub and firewall look great, good to see you making progress on it.

I take it this is the end goal? Love the blue.

In other words, you won't be afraid to actually drive this one...

@CanCritter, When you say "the way I want it", I hope you mean by keeping it original as possible?

On my SFGT, the fan ground wire attaches with a screw that holds the heater box in. It's to the left of where the evaporator lines enter. In fact, in your picture of the fan motor, the green tape you have holding the drip tube points directly to this screw (upper right where it wraps around).

Hope this helps.

well...gotta remember the engine and tranny are missing from this GT so at that point originality are mute points...
However will keep the original B5 blue car came with and same color scheme on interior...will change steering wheel to

change dash from black to wood grain...my black dash is toast and have spare 71 dash...it will match consul and shifter knob...
will probably skip vynal roof....rims undecided...roadwheels..pricey and over done...maybe update rims
bottom line not doing anything to car that cant be undone easily

 

[CanCritter]

seeing as lm dabbelin with harness decided to tackle dash ...getting all the hard stuff outa the way...

 

[CanCritter]

few more pics...we all like pics...….

fixing and cleanin up **** as l go...turns out l have some decent signal lights to work with...phew....cleaned up ashtray as lm hittin dash....
