Installed rear plates and tried to mimic where they were positioned before based on my pictures. Mounted the left rear quarter. Sorry not many good pics of what we actually got done.

Good things come to those who wait. My parts from D-Ind showed up yesterday. I was having buyers remorse about paying $500 for the engine harness until I saw it in person. Wow what an upgrade! I didn't realize how much of an upgrade from the stock one that it would be.

Worked on the car for a few hours after work.
I cut sound deadener for in behind the bulkhead plate and installed it before the bulkhead plate gets installed.

Tam worked on the brake booster and m.c. She saw in the parts manual that a o ring goes between the booster and the m.c. but I don't remember there being one in there. She found a new one that seemed to fit and put it in there for now.
This o-ring does really make sense to me. It looks like the m.c. has a special notch out of it for the brake fluid to weep out if the seal fails but I feel like a oring would mess this up.

I cleaned up the resistor pack (sorry no after pics) while Tam put a new gasket on the bulkhead plate.
After this we made another list of hardware needed. No matter what it seems like we keep discovering hardware that we didn't buy and we need. I'll be making another trip to the hardware store tomorrow or Friday.

I made a list of hardware I needed the other night. Today after my morning spin class/gym workout I swung in to the hardware store. This is a tedious and time consuming part of fully restoring a vehicle.
I tried to find new nuts for my jump post but the threads didn't seem to match anything in metric or SAE.
Pro tip- If you need metric washers, lock washers, etc. and you live in rural USA try finding SAE washers, lock washers, etc. That will fit and work. They are usually much more readily available and a lot cheaper.
After an hour of searching and jotting down costs, this is what I brought to the counter.
$27 for a tiny bag of hardware. Ugh....

I posted about jump lug on the Delorean technical page on FB. Turns out it is a weird thread.
I found a lug design that I really like online so I ordered it.

Did you consider HEI ignition and dumping the ballast resistor?
