Cool. So your "parts" work... except maybe the switch. Maybe. In the pictures you had a yellow wire on the starter solenoid. I didn't see any yellow wire on the start switch.
I believe the center pin on the key switch should connect to the small terminal on the starter solenoid.
1). 12 volts at the "in" side of the switch?
2). 12 volts at the "out" side of the switch when start is called for?
It's literally connect the dots.

Finally got most the electric figures out and done. Hopefully. Still have to put gas in and start it to know for sure. Also still waiting on the back order exhaust but I should be able to do a quick start without it.
Updated to all led lights. Next is the gauges and interior.

I'm not sure who did this... But this would be awesome to build. Be nice to find out the person behind it.

| Im trying to design one from scratch but maybe it could share some components like the arms from a jetta or golf mk4, it would be nice to have it just bolt on like this one |
