72 Roller GS assembly advice needed

I am in the process of purchasing a nice rust free 72 GS roller. It has front and rear suspension, brakes, wheels and a body. That is about it, no wiring, the firewall is bare, no interior at all. You get the idea. I am planning on moving all of my nice parts from my rusty Skylark over to the new one and could use some advice as to which order I should be moving parts over. This project is a bit over my pay grade but I learn fast. Thanks.

Do u have title & the vin tag on the firewall. U have a great task before u. The guys on this site will love to assist u in anyway. Good luck.

 

Yes Vin tag and title. I am planning on about a 3 year project. I hope that is realistic.

Hey Cliff, feel free to holler at me, I’d love to drop by and see what your project looks like.

 

Here you go Doc Once it arrives I will reach out to you.

She looks SWEET !

 

Thanks. What is the proper order for reassembly? What’s first? Wiring? Brakes? I think interior and suspension can wait. Someone must have done this before. I’m looking for some guidance.
Cliff

 

Wiring,. AC/heater box first

 

Thanks hugger. Like run the wires loosely into the dash n wire up that first while I have plenty of wire to work with? These are the kind of tips I need!

just pull the harness out your car and swap it all over,..

 

I was debating a new harness but you think if the old one is working fine just reuse it?
Cliff

 

The dash and body harness yes just reuse,...put a new engine harness and headlight harness

 

Fix any body and paint you can't live with while it is a shell. The unfortunate thing is you have to strip everything down on the donor car to get to the wiring and dash components.

 

I have a spare/better dash I could use with a new harness to avoid that. This is good stuff. I didn’t even know there was an asst of harnesses I could get. I was looking at master kits. Thanks Hugger. Thanks Dave. cliff
