sorry andy but phil's right there... lol
anyway update on the gauge situation (i know nobody cares, but just let me be, ok

)
ok the taped in bit of card dash install went down well at southend lastnight

so i've made a new and improved bit of card up
gonna cover it in... wait for it... gaffer tape

to give it that "bling" effect
anyhw, finally got the wire for the water temp sender in the bay n connected, just need to put the actual sender into the engine and i'm ready to rock

i must also point out that the original ford sender came apart in my hands when i tried to take the plug off of it... lol
and i now also have a 17mm spanner stuck to one of my screwdrivers (long story...

)
anyway, gonna check dimensions on the temporary panel and hopefully get something working by the end of the day
