Nice ride!

I think the gas tank is different between the GVR4 & 1G

Nice score. I was eyeing that one but i already have my hands full.
Yeah gvr4 gas tanks are diffrent from dsm. Plus it should be easy spotting one on gvr4 forum.
Good luck!f

Thanks for the compliments! Car is going together pretty smooth. Got the fenders, side skirts and the piece between the bumper and the headlights on as well:

This weekend the goal is to have the engine harness out, and replace the front subframe with another one from a DSM that I know will not give me ps rack leaks or any other issues. I have poly bushings for it too.

I was able to drop the old subframe and install a DSM subframe and rack with new poly bushings. I cleaned it up and sprayed it with truck bed coating:

Yay for wire harness work.

Decided to go through and repair the original harness instead of swapping my DSM harness over. There's a few plugs I'll need to replace, along with some very stiff wires, but it's all here. I also plan to mount the battery low where the vapor canister use to sit, rather than mounting it in the rear. Being a four door with a usable trunk, seems silly to stuff a battery back there.

Update, relocated the washer bottle to where it should be(where the junk abs motor sat), going to try and fit a dsm washer bottle instead so it'll be easier to fill. Also just about finished up the wire harness, removed a few un-needed things, ran the stock mafs wires and plug to the glove box then ran a gm maf plug where it should be (I put my translator box in the glove box). Also ran a power wire to where the battery will sit. Still need to put some 2g injector clips in the harness, as well as replace the cas plug and the o2 sensor plug, and put together the starter harness.

I've also changed my mind about the ps res. I originally was going to use the DSM bottle, but decided to plug the un-used ports on the vr4 res. so I can keep the low fluid light.

EDIT: Woot! The fuel tank and sending unit just arrived.

Finishing up the paint on a few pieces for the front end, such as control arms, dr side north/south piece, and a couple brackets. Also fabbed up a prototype bumper support for the front since I didn't get the crash beam with the car. Gotta trim some excess material, do some final welding to make it strong, and throw paint on it. Here's a pic of the car with the bumper on:

I also bought a remanned 3g brake master cylinder and so far its almost bolt on. Will need to make the two lines from the master to the prop valve.
