Got the brake hoses I ordered from Pegasus Auto Racing and finished the engines harness, removed the oxygen sensor and AC plugs, radiator fan wires except the blue wire. Was able to remove the pins. A wheel hub mounting stud snapped off on me ill probably go get new nuts for them now dont know what I did there wrench was set to 50ft lbs

Dang that is a lot of info! Good update!
Heads up on that new sensor causing an issue. System may have to re-learn it.
You will need to remove the inside hub caps with the ABS plugs.
Nice lines on the brake reservoir.

Did you confirm the red lines are rated for brake fluid?
Your harness cover for the headlights will look great with your frame color! Especially with the old school chrome headlights!!

Yeah I trimmed them off first top was a little thin I added a cover with epoxy today. Yes its not fuel line its brake hose probably could have used 1/4 inch for small lines the braided line is 3/8 think I spent $43 on them the braided line was for clutch and lines were exactly what I wanted they arrived in 24hours because I bought from a local business.I ordered some plug pigtails for the tail lights and blinkers got some spares here at the house from the junk yard trips.

The stud failure is a head scratcher.

The stud failure is a head scratcher.

I used shock locking nuts I had here in garage because I never removed donor hubs the nut cut into it I believe, im going to get a new set of studs and nuts that match the zinc hardware.

Engine harness is in and looking awesome, found all the grounds I needed to use,and installed all the cooling hoses. I got a 14mm by 3/8 banjo fitting and used that for my turbo coolant line. Wired up the headlights and got the lighting plugs I ordered for mirrors and tail lights they were listed as outdoor lighting but are the perfect size.

 

[JBINTX]

Great progress! Everything is so clean.
On the plastic fuel line from the pump up to the top of the pulse dampener - you will want to secure it in several places. It jumps around ALOT!
