Only managed to get on it for a little while over the weekend, but still made some progress all the same.
I decided from the start that i didn't want to use a key for the ignition or crank so when i first got the car, i removed the steering lock and cut all the un needed parts from the ignition barrel casing leaving just the minimal parts to allow the fitment of the indicator stalks.

I will be running the fans off of the original fan switch but also want a fan overide switch with an LED to show when the fans are running whether they are over ridden or not, Ignition switch, pump 1 ( standard intank pump ) and pump 2 ( escort turbo / cossie pump ) and the start button.
I wanted to mount them in the stereo position and rather than cut some plastic, shape it then paint it, i had a look on e bay and found a blanking plate for £3.99 delivered!

Once it turned up, i put the centre line on it



measured and drilled the holes for the switches and led



mounted the switches and test fitted, i think it looks pretty good



The i got the dynamo out and printed labels



That was saturday's job and todays job was the harness bars on the cage:

finalizing position



cut and offered into postion, and checking level





other side cut, offered in and checked for level




welded in, primed, and bloody run out of satin black lol
