The electrical setup in the car is a bit messy. But for one thing there's too many connectors. Of the "extension cables" in the kit, 4 are completely unnecessary and I didn't use them. Fewer connectors, fewer things to go wrong. There wouldn't need to be any extension cables if the wires where long enough in the first place.
If I did this again, I'd redo all the wires with things soldered together, and find a better way to route them. As it is they show under the transmission under the car.
Just the same, the body went on OK and it looks great! Also, all the electronics work!
The steering is a problem though. For some reason the steering shaft seems to kink up (it has 2 u-joints) and wedge against the frame. I'm not sure what';s going on there. I will probably just not worry about it.
There's still quite a lot to do including several details under the hood and the iconic exhausts on the sides. The exhaust pipes were in the very first shipment as I recall, but I didn't put them together as I knew they couldn't possibly be needed for a long time. It turns out that they are the very last step.
