More wiring today, very time consuming when replacing a lot of the connectors and the vinyl sheathing. Ralph from Auto’s International came over today and installed the Dino vinyl around the back windscreen as I’m ready for glass in a day or two. The front is pretty much finished with the grill and bumpers now on.

Reassembly of Ferrari Dino 246 GTS 08450, Dino restoration, Jon Gunderson

Day 4 of reassembly, with lots of progress today. The hydraulic system is done with new brake lines and fitting. The AC is mostly done at least from the cab forward. All the lines will be hooked up tomorrow. The new heat shield was installed in the engine compartment, rear lights and bumpers a few other odds and ends. Tomorrow the wiring goes back in and that will pretty much finish everything in the front part of the car. Everything is going well with no problems year. Moving along faster than my initial timeframe estimate. Probably jinxing myself saying that!
