Dark green wire with the insulated sleeve connects to the electric choke, at least in 82. It should have battery voltage when the engine has oil pressure.

Thank you for that information.
Choke wire that must be. There is a replacement carb, so it was not attached. Never occured to me.

Started to work with right front fender.
Sanded that epoxy down a little... I noticed some issues, because someone had used grinder to remove old paint/ rust/dents once... in Swizerland...



Had to ad some filler to make surface flawless. I replaced before that front corner of original fender using a piece of my crashed Concord. There were about quarter of an inch bondo all over this fender, because of that dented front corner. 



Finished and primered. Did some holes for fender flare...

The better fender needs some attention too.
One unfinished dent reparation... Finished that one.



An unfinished welding job.



This bracket had an odd shape, so needed to fix it.



My own mistake... made this corner repair 2 cm too short... 3/4 inch.



Finished that one.



And this...



And then that corner, now in right measure.



Started to finish rear hatch.



Left that locking screw area untouched.



Cut that bad rust away.



Testing...



Start...



Done...





Outside looks fine.



There were a couple of odd dents here.



Painted this repair area inside of the hatch. Not an easy task... But now it is done.
