been playing dash wipers again, hell of a job getting it to go in and out with no issues, but i cut the round tube out and put in a flat bar instead and now fits under the 4 inch lip i have protruding from the sceen surround. I also made a start on the brace bar that hold the steering in, and sorted out the route of some of the wiring....tomorrow i'm going to get some eyelets..the kind that hold your net curtains up, and place them along the inside of the brace, so i have somewhere to cable tie the loom to...pics tomorrow once thats done.

Well wiring is all routed up....some of it wants shortening to tidy it up a bit, and I've started to remove some of the excess thats not needed, speaker wires etc, also to go will be the electic windows, but I'm keeping the central locking....so just waiting on the fuel tank now, once I have that I can make sure it all still works, then strip it back to a bare shell to start the final fix on the welding front

Wonder if I should keep the parking sensors :)

this mess is all going to sit up under the dash

Image

tail light wiring, and tail gate wiring, only thing I need to keep from the gate wiring is the heated rear window

Image

interior lights, central locking sensor, and sunroof wireing, sunroof wires are gonna be trimmed out

Image

Airbag sensor, and fuelpump/guage plugs

Image

Top view of the dash brace, looks quite neat this bit :)

Wiper mech looks at home now

Everybodies loves it when shiny things are delivered, that is a good looking shiny delivery
How long will it take to get it plumbed in and check it is working?
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
