It is looking great so far bud. I can't wait to see it roar to life. ;-)
 
Tiny steps tonight.

I installed a remote lock/unlock unit made by Trail Teq in Australia. As this is a euro spec HDJ80 with no RS 000, there was nothing to disable. Literally just pull apart the door panel, plug and play. This is really well designed. I have now rocketed forwards from 1997 into the early 2000s of technology.

The keychain is patina-ing nicely.

Now, the broken mirror:

There are new OEM 80 series mirrors still available… But only in black and chrome. Yes I ordered a wobbly mirror fix from Delta VS, but I tried out the black and I think I might go for it.

Tonight I finished bolting up the exhaust manifold/turbo, turbo oil lines, and got the 3 inch exhaust laid out. Relevant part numbers for turbo oil union, gaskets, and exhaust cushion attached.
