Looking good.... and so is your mates estate

That's another person who hasn't been able to track down the impossibly rare Estate GL spec rear end caps
I couldn't find any either when I built mine

take a pic of the loom plug, and i will pin it out for you. Its the black one. That connected to the car loom. From memory, green is rev counter, brown is earth, blak ign live red perm live and blak with red trace is fuel pump trigger. Brown with white is water temp to guage. Can't remember the others
