Here is the new GL-T completed engine bay. This was done on day two. If I had an 89 parts car instead of a 91, I would have been done in two days.

Here's the box of wires I pulled out of the GL. It is missing some, but you get the idea. Lesson learned, mechanical swap was done in two days, but electrical took a week. I had no clue what I was getting into.

The GT parts car was stripped to nothing. Note that the carpet, seats, dash, console, trunk panels, and rear seats had to be pulled in both cars to swap the wiring.

Here is the wiring in the back of the car in progress. I'm sitting in the hatch of the silver car.

A pic of the steering column dropped. Keep in mind the harness under the dash that had to be swapped included the fuse panels and was so thick it was held to the firewall with 10mm nuts.

A pic of the dash off for wiring. The entire car had to be rewired because I went from an 89 to a 91.
