Oh I got my first electrical issue within 1 mile of the point of sale. The bolt that holds the alternator output to fusible link in the fuse box was cross threaded and only making intermittent connection. I had to go back to their house and borrow a screwdriver to loosen it and jam a nut in there to make the connection. Then I drove 50 miles back home. At some point, the car took a hit in the fender and cracked up the fuse box (fuse box bracket bolts to structure under fender). The previous owner pulled the body back into line, but let the fuse box dangle. A used fuse box showed up today. I'll transfer all of the pins to the replacement fuse box soon. The wiring in the engine bay and interior is surprisingly untouched. No custom installs or half-ass repairs. They just left it stock and didn't repair what broke. Not ideal, but I can work with that.
