Saturday 5th October
I only managed a short time on the car, I marked up the
position for where to pass the lambda sensor wiring through the body work,
removed the exhaust manifold and drilled the hole and fitted an appropriate
grommet, I need to cut the current connector off the sensor wiring and re-wire
it once I have passed the wiring though the grommet, slight annoying but it
will look tidy.
Sunday 13th October
I have started marking up the dashboard layout, ready for
fitting the gauges, warning lights and switches, this will allow me to crack on
with the wiring behind the dashboard, tidying up all the wires as a I go.
Saturday 26th October
With the dash all marked out I thought I would drill the
holes for the clocks, 3 out of 5 done, as I have no 80mm hole saw for the tacho
and speedo....time to add to my tool collection.

Today I managed to drill the two holes for the 80mm clocks
in the dash, once I get back from my holiday I will start wiring the dash……..….Two
weeks in Florida. J
Since the last update I have managed to fit the alternator
and complete the fitting of the brackets, (with thanks to various other blogs
on the net)

| Wiring in the warm. |
Friday 27th December
Rather than spend the evening out in the cold garage, I bought
the car into the warm lounge, wiring the dash is the task in hand.
Saturday 18th January
This wiring lark is very time consuming, what started as a loom
in the form of cooked spaghetti now appears to be a loom in the form of cooked
spaghetti with some connectors on the end, a little more work is required I
think, on the plus side most of the switches are wired so I can start wrapping
the wires in loom tape. I have also fitted the front brake callipers and
plumbed in the brake pipes which are all secure.
