well I'm well it to the wiring now.Got all the unwanted bits out and am ready to put power to the loom and see if it all works.
I am keeping the heated front screen and have taken that out of the loom and am powering it separately to keep it neat and tidy
I am hiding most of the main loom under the dash and not in the engine as the battery will be in the car now, I want a neat engine bay
The front light/horn/indicators will have bulk head plugs and run n/s-o/s of the turrets
whats left of the body loom
New engine loom,coilpack ....
cam trigger
dizzy blank

I'm not sure about the carbon console as I can't make it fit anywhere 
It looks odd how ever you put it,it don't seem to fit on the tunnel right?
So will make a alloy one and get it flocked

Hi all had last night in the shed and made up the front lights and indicators/horn loom It went very well I think.It will plug in a bulkhead twist fitting
I have done the rear light loom last weekend and it is all braided the same and runs though up the roof and pillars.

Absolutey cracking build. You've certainly got all the right bits for this car and it will be very enviable when its on the road.
I would guess that the one above with the OZ's on is a foreign car and thats why you've not spotted it at the shows? Norway/Sweden maybe??

Hi I fitted the front lighting loom last night I think it when in nicely
Also fitted the charging loom
I threaded the battery lead thought the n/s sill but was worried if I get hit/crash and it getting cut and coursing a fire got some protection to go round it .sorry the pic is on the piss
The rear light loom is fitted and wired up I put that thought the roof pillow on the o/s
Now its the fuses and relays,I cut a load of relay holders and the board that holds them out of an old bus dash at work and got a bag of new pins to re pin them to get rid of the ford stuff,bit of a mess at the Mo but will tidy that up soon
new center consol we made up this will get flocked same as the dash

I drove down to summerset today to pick up the new olines grp a 3 ways left home at 5.00am back at 14.15pm :thumbsup: but the car looks like this now
It was clean when I went :thumbsup:
Shock seem good but the springs are scruffy they can be painted.Top mounts where too tight to get off and didn't want to bugger up with grips so they will be posted on
Just need the rear beam off mike rainbird "
"and can start putting it back together
