So next up was to get the rev counter working. The VR6 sends the rev counter signal digitally to the mk3 clocks but the mk2 clocks expect to see an analogue pulse from a coil. So time to knock together some wires, diodes and heat shrink and run it all from the coil to the clocks. Taking signals off 2 of the 3 coils will make the 6cyl rpm work properly with the 4cyl clocks:

So once I test started the engine it started and ran perfectly. Happy days, my wiring loom extension didn't cause any issues.
Did the rev counter work? Did it ****! But we'll revisit that some other day
Then i wrapped the loom in the bay:

Oddly I don't have a finished pic of it.
And spiral wrapped the rest of the loom back into the car and I'll fix it to the power cable properly when the front end goes on:

Then it was time to move inside and sort out all the wiring mess I'd ran behind the dash:

Once I get the wiring ran inside and out permanently I'll put up the finished pics.
One of my new genuine fuel lines appeared and I got it fitted too. The rest is coming this week along with a bunch of other bits:
