Ah right cool thinking about it i wish i had kept cetain bits of the car so i could enter road rallies as stage rallying is going to be bloody expensive lol. Saying that though if i can enter single venues i might join ya 1 day, might even have a crack at ur title if i meet the regs Although its taken me 18 months to get this far as its my first time so have no idea how long its going to take me from here lol



Well i relish the challenge lol
i take it your leaving the front as removeable?

Hehe if its finished by then were on

Yes im leaving the front removable. Its a fibreglass flip front. I have just fitted it before i paint it as you can see in the next post

[Italianjoblofty]

Here is the flop front all fitted before i start sanding it back for final paint.

Also had chance to paint the rear of my roll cage. You'll have to excuse the barrels it on lol

[minisi35]

[Italianjoblofty]

Ok Have started to fit some bits to the rear end now. Managed to fit the rear bumper, petrol tank and fuel pump.

Nice, did you weld the bracket on the tank?

I welded the bracket to the floor and to the rear firewall. Then bolted it up to the tank. Now all the shiney bits are goin on im starting to get a little excited . I made a start on my wiring loom last night....My god what a nightmare! It kind of my own fault really, when i stripped it i was a little nieve and didnt lable anything ans it seems i got frustrated and cut a few connectors to get the loom out so im having to backtrack and and solder some new connections lol. Most of the main bits were still intact though so im almost finished.

[liirge]

So how custom is the loom going to be?
I've started planning mine, and its a bloody nightmare if I'm honest!

[minisi35]

ive got that all to come, depends how well you can follow the wiring diagrams i suppose

[liirge]

I can follow them, its the making of them that's not the easiest...

If im honest fella i am keeping my origional loom as most of it is still needed and i'll be adding some little extras e.g. an electric fuel pump, push button horn for navigators footrest, intercom system etc but i havent got as far as adding bits yet, im still trying to get my origional loom back up to scratch and yes the wiring diagrams are a bloody nightmare as they aint setup to look in place with where things are on the car. I started out with all the basics and sorted out my rear loom first as that was the most simple and labled everything up. I borrowed my mates multi meter and checked evey connection before i labled things though. A good indication is the wire colours are actually correct to the diagrams so even though its all over the place, the wire colours are right! unlike peugots lol as i get a bit further into it i'll update my progress for ya.

Hi mate, if you mean the ones that i have welded to the heel board inside the cockpit then yes. I actually made 4 of them but only used 2 so have 2 spare :)
