Looming....

Friday 30th August

I decided to break open the ECU loom box and start considering the routing around the engine bay, the loom is a nice plug ‘n’ play arrangement from harnessing solutions (www.harnessing-solutions.co.uk), once I had located the relevant sensors and connections I roughly ran the loom through some cable ties and plugged in what I could, I still need to wire in the relays for the fan and the fuel pump but I will do this once I have fitted a plate behind the dash for mounting the relays and fuse box.

I have turned the Zetec fuel rail around so I do not have to run fuel hose the length of the engine bay and back again, this simple mod provides a neater solution, the fuel filter is also mounted and plumbed in.

Bodywork all loaded up
ready for the trip home

Progress has been a little slow in the last week or so, mainly because I am taking my time to familiarise myself with the wiring loom and what the best way to route the loom is, although I have managed to fit and plumb in the catch tank.

Today I took a road trip to Hereford to pick up the body and a few other bits such as the exhaust system and prop shaft.

4 into 1 exhaust manifold

I managed to get a few hours working on the car, I fitted the starter motor, trial fitted the exhaust manifold so I could determine where the hole in the body work for the lambda sensor wiring needed to be and I have also made a start on fitting the alternator brackets. The propshaft is in place but not yet secured as I need to source some appropriate bolts.
