Got pulled over by 2 LEO cruisers last night because my "fog lights" were on, and I didn't turn them off within 500' of other vehicles. (My "fog lights" are actually the parking lamps w/ 55w bulbs)
I did the whole "pull over in a safe area leave plenty of room for officer turn interior lights on engine off key on dashboard windows down no rummaging around the car" thing.
I was still in uniform, they let me go.

As per the thread I am slowly working away at my Tec-GT install.
Getting clear in my head the way the wires should be routed before I tape and loom them.
Mounted the MAP sensor (not sure I like the location)
Hooked all the throttle,trans, CC cables.
Took Deb to the Spa so I can have 3 hrs of peace
Now back to building the harness

Went hunting for the root cause for several mysterious noises coming from some where in the backend. The fuel pump is abnormally loud so I figured I'd look inside the fuel pump area. Found lots of dirt, cob web, bird seeds and other gack but the fuel pump was mounted as it should be with plenty of rubber for vibration isolation. Vacuumed out the cavity, sanded and repainted the cover. The search for noises and rattles continues.

Finally got the car out today,went for couple hr drive washed and towel dried it.
Stopped off to a dealership today just to inquire about what an offer would be if decided to trade in.They said even if your not ready now they had time to look the car over and said mid teen's.So when the time comes if I don't sell it outright at least know the offer will be around 15k on a trade.Also asked about dealers giving 4 to 8% off MSRP depending on what car model etc and they said when the time comes they would work on price also.When the time comes looks like might go for the trade in instead of listening to someone try to lowball price.

Today I plan on spending more time on the wiring.
When I get confused or am thinking about the best location, I stop and continue bolting on parts.
I still have to install the Alt, PS pump, Rad, belts, and the lines.
slowly going together

Experienced a driver's door handle / mechanism failure on 86--- some springloaded cast metal piece has fatigued.
Disassembled a donor door for what appear to be good replacement parts.
Test drove 85 with MAF rebuild --- incredible difference in powerband and performance.
