Started cleaning up some of the wiring last night:

 
Was all tracking along okay until I found what one of the mechanics that worked on it over the years had left me:

 
Pretty happy to find that...

Got the last o-ring I need to reconnect the ac, so the frunk is all back together.

 
Also after spending at least 8 hours and breaking about 456 drill bits in the bushes on the front control arms I lucked out and picked this up for half price at super cheap

 
Removed one of the rear control arm bushes in about 10 mins.

What steering wheel do you have? I've been looking for something nice with a padded center to stay legal.

Good question, I don't remember. Going to keep working on the bushings tomorrow night so I'll check then

Decided to take off the front bar to fix up a few cracks etc. While I was in there I got off the fog lights to fix up the white over spray that has annoyed me since the day I bought it. Also found the AC condenser was in pretty rough condition so that came out for a bit of a refurb.
 

 
Foglights before:

 
After:

Heres all the bushings (except for the rear sway bars that I haven't done yet). Far left are the two I got out with drills etc, the far right was with the press.
