Wrong steering column
Received replacement used steering column from revolvstore. The linkage at the steering box end is completely different. It'll have to go back. Bugger!

Cylinder head
The cylinder head we're putting on is a rebuilt one from BHP. It has been milled down to B20E specs to get the allowed 10.5:1 compression ratio. Here are some pictures.
Here's the fuse panel. Going to have to clean this thing up a little.

Here's the new fuel injection wiring harness. Doesn't look like much for $355 does it? Well if it makes the car work reliably it's well worth the money.
Ordered used steering column
The original steering column had been cut and welded for a removable steering wheel (the cheap kind). I ordered a used replacement from http://www.revolvstore.com/

And here are the wiring harnesses and D-Jetronic ECU. A new wiring harness is on order from Don Thibault at p1800.com.
This is the dash crossbar we cut out, with nasty gauge panel stll attached.
Here's the inerior with all the junk removed from the dash area
Interior
Today we cut out the roll cage bar that runs across the dash. It was too hight and blocked the place where the gauges should go. We also ripped out the old angled gauge panel in the center of the dash, and removed the wiring harnesses, steering column and various bits of trim. We'll weld in a new bar lower down.
Here's a view of the steering box before it was removed for painting
Some pictures, right after painting the engine compartment. We used yellow Rustoleum aerosol paint that almost exactly matches the yellow paint on the car's exterior
