One of the next things to do is the windscreen. Any tips for installation? Will I need to bend the mounting bracket a little or does it usually fit straight on? Plexi mounts on the inside of the bracket right?

You will probably need to bend it a little to get a nice fit on your hood. It shouldn't take any drastic bends but it will need to "adjusted" to have a nice fit against the hood. I hastily put mine on and ended up scratching the vinyl wrap on the hood.

I did get the wind screen mount on with a little bending, but it seemed to work out. I haven't put the wind screen on yet, but it looks like most people mount them on the inside of the mount.

Now for another question.... WIRING!
Behind the dash I have two wires; a purple and a red. I believe the purple goes to the ACC button and the red would go to an intercooler fan, but I didn't use one. I'm not getting power to these wires and I'm guess I might have blown a fuse. Does anyone know where the fuse for these wires are located? Would it be the fuse box by the engine or the one under the kick plate?

 

[Ark :D]

Not sure about the red wire off the top of my head, but the fog lamp fuse is in the engine fuse box:

Could the red one be “cool fans(turbo)”?

Could the red one be “cool fans(turbo)”?

I don't believe so, I'm pretty sure that wire is repurposed.

Video 11 doesn’t mention what it is for. Just says to roll and zip tie it. Must be key on power for any accessories you want to run like... a radio?

 

[Rttoys]

Extra power for an accessory later, if you want.

 

[MisterDave]

The purple wire is fog... I found the fuse, looked fine. So I'm not really sure why I wasn't getting power to it... maybe something with the switch...
After a quick email and response from Lonny, the red wire is labeled at amp. This fuse is located in the front panel. That fuse was blown... I replaced it and there is power to the wire. Looks like it is always on, not a key-on wire.

I’m hesitant to say it’s finished because there is still a list of things I want to do. But it is now registered and insured and ready for its first drive on public roads. So.... is it finished? I still want to change the way the naca ducts are attached, upgrade the shifter with the new setup I purchased from sactx, and then there are some interior wiring and mounting of accessories. Oh and possibly change the headlights. All of those things are outside of the “kit” so maybe I can say I’m done.... maybe

Thanks. I debated the wing mount a lot. I was afraid it would be too high. I’m pretty happy with it.

 

[MisterDave]

I wanted to use different naca ducts, but the holes were already cut. This is what I came up with:
Before:

After:

I plan to wrap the adapter I made to match the car wrap.

Today was a good day. Because of COVID restrictions, my parents haven’t been able to come see the goblin since I built it in fact they missed seeing the whole process. IT was a big deal for me to be able to take them for a ride in a car that I put together.

 

[JBINTX]

So awesome!!!!!!!
Soak in days like that and keep them stored away safely forever.

Nice! I took my mom for a ride last summer, but my dad still refuses to get in mine
