Ha! it's slowed down a lot due to work and family but aiming to get as much done as I can to hit an Easter IVA dream mate


I think you should make a resolution to come to at least one SKCC run in this one before you sell it and start another project :)

Definitely mate. I have two garages now so can have a keeper and a project at the same time! Happy days :-)

More wiring done. Got an earth block to earth all the car loom earths nice and neat and secure. I cleaned up the powder coat behind the block with a Dremmel first.

New wiring/battery tray made from folded Ali as my previous idea was to shallow for the battery.
Image

It looks pretty tidy now and plenty of room for the ECU when I get it. Waiting on some fixings to secure the fuseboxes and relays. Also got an ali battery bracket on its way.
Image

So then to soldering and heat shrinking on the ignition plug to new loom..

Image

I've also fitted a new set of front calipers as one was sticking and I couldnt be arsed rebuilding them compared with the cost of two new exchange units.

More to come on Saturday when Im hoping to get it cranking on the starter.

Cheers
