Managed to sneak a few hours this morning down the unit..

The plan is to strip and rebuild the car in sections, ie. engine bay, interior, underside, bodywork etc.

As said at the beginning of this thread, I purchased the car as a non runner, I managed to get the car running but doing so I had to botch a load of wiring together as the wiring that was in the car was quite simply shocking so I have decided to basically do away with all the wiring in the car and start again.

Which brings me to starting with the engine bay as the engine loom is riddled as is the car loom so I will be relocating the fuse box and remaking a new loom myself for the car and possibly engine once I decide what route to take re management.

As I was removing the looms, I thought sod it, il start with the bay, engine out, paint, new lines blah blah blah full freshen up.

So, off came the wings and bumper..



Current fuse box location, lots of plugs and wires that aren't even being used!!



Which was removed immediately!!

Turbo and mani removed..



Intercooler, rad, header tank and ps tank removed, ready for engine to come out basically..



Also decided to remove the dash so as I can make the new loom to length for relocating the fuse box to inside the car. I will be doing this at home of an evening as I do have my new baby boy to look after so can't spend as much time as normal down my unit playin, should be able to sneak a few cheeky hours here and there in the spare room though



And said car loom that's going in for surgery..



Have a few bits on order for the engine bay freshen up so will update as and when
