Coming along nicely Denz , you can use my cut down loom as a pattern if you want?

done some more on the wiring its now moved from the bench in the shed to the car , progress is slow but it is getting there , got the bank holiday weekend for a big push next week .no more pics as im unable to get them to upload , only seems to be when i turn the flash off to take them dont know why this would effect them .

while sitting on the cross member doing some wiring had the bonnet proped with a bit of roof batton , acidently knocked it and the bonnet came down and it managed to punch a hole 2/3 rds the way through it after several chioce words my blood pressure returned to normal . first bit of damage and she aint turned a wheel yet .. should repair ok with some resin and a bit of pudding . would have prefered it hit me on the head ..
