Great mate, some propa bits n bobs there

inspired by the team ospreys i went back to the ole car yesterday and gave a full days attention to the Electrics,(my weakest point with cars, other than not drilling square........ )

All wiring has now been fixed / added / taped / clipped into place and it was time to connect the battery. Bearing in mind the large amount of alterations and the new switch panel i was pretty apprehensive however battery connected, cut out switch "switched" on and hey ho most things worked !!

fuel pumps (although new) needed a 'tap' to get them going, no dash lights (but then realised i hadnt connected them in to the dash board - now done and ok) and everything tickety boo. Well not quite, the heater is not 'blowing' on either speed which is dissapointing as it is a bugger to take out but i will leave it there for a while and maybe have a look another time.

Now i can get on with finishing off the interior


pics to follow

nothing like having your diff bolts lock wired for peace of mind when you're flat out. plus the fact that it does look good.
