Well i ripped out my dash, rewired the lot because i got worried about how messy it was back there, and shorting out issues.

Put it all back in.

And something shorted out

FOR *******S SAKE!

Ripped it all out again, and shrink wrapped every connector separately, then together.

All fine now.

my car now doesn't rattle :)

changed the subframe mounts, tomorrow/today fit the fibreglass front on with bonnet pints and something else, not quite sure what yet, then fit electronic fuel pump and clean the engine bay. Maybe start cutting the hole and sorting out the wiring for the weber box :)

Just ordered £500 worth of bits from MiniSpares. I am just about to go out now, change the rocker cover gasket, oil etc and start it up for the first time in 5 years! Also going to give the arches a good clean out, degrease the engine bay and WD all the suspension bolts, to make my life easier for when all the new bits turn up.

Were are you taking it, Hi-tech? I might have to pop down this week to see what its like there as its been around 10 years since I was there last. And I want to find out how much it is to do a power run with my red one.
