The alternator voltage regulator (with the green tape) is just to the 
rear of the thing that looks like a generator VR. I don't know what 
the "gen VR" is doing there, or what it might really be.

The plate looks to me like his home made rear engine mount. 8-P

It's a pretty common piece of junk over here, but there are a bunch 
of switches on its rear that someone has installed. From the looks of 
the dash wiring it looks like a real "expert" has been wading around 
in there.

This car might be salvagable, but it would be a lot of work, or more 
likely it would just be good for parts.
