Have not posted here for quite some time. Been to China multiple times now, and somehow acquired a private robotic arm for future projects.
I've been assembling the car further during the past few weeks while on vacation.

Tried getting the om648 oil level sensor working, either it was dead or I should get more sleep,
chose to not waste any more time and modified the om648 oil dipstick to accept the om606 dipstick.
Torn down the plastic markings on the dipstick and now am measuring the oil level with a ruler or caliper.
Will grind a mark when I'll have the oil cooler fitted.

I threw out the original chrysler gauges (all broken) and used a laser cutter to cut out circles in the front
transparent plastic to accompany 52mm aliexpress gauges. Cut down the rear side with an angle grinder to
have enough room for the gauges. Lost my coolant temp gauge sender somewhere.

I have now mostly finished the engine wiring and got the engine running. Had problems starting it
because I had forgotten paper towels in the cylinders
One square per cylinder quickly adds up andblack chewed up pieces of paper were blocking the exhaust before the turbo.
Took off the manifold and it spit out the remnants and made everything black. Thankfully no valves were bent.
Now running excellent for an engine with no map or turbo working. Cylinder one has a rare misfire, but I
want to blame the rebuilt injectors.
Now working on the body harness that comes from multiple donors and has major differences from any
factory schematics I can find. Working on intercooler and coolant lines.
