In the rear, I also reached for new bolts, but could not find my bag of M8 lock nuts, so these are temporary.

That's it--bolted on, and jack removed.

Congrats Bob. I appreciate you sharing your journey in this rebuild. I have followed from pretty early on (as I am 6 months into my rebuild, fully stripped, on Roti, and beginning floor pan welding this week). Your documentation of your ups and downs, make for a wonderful reference. Wishing you the best on the remainder of your build, all of us can't wait for that first drive this spring and the photos to follow.

Eventually, it will need a battery. Based on the recommendation of @raynekat , I got an XSPower D4700 which should bolt in and use the stock bracket.

I also got a Ctek battery maintainer, since I expect the car will not go out every day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

With the engine and trans in, its time to start connecting everything. I started with the half-shafts.

To press the CV into the output flange, I used some M8 bolts a bit longer than the stock CV bolts.
