Thanks leaky! I'm getting there slowly! Its the one thing I'm concentrating on the most :) obviously a few wires will always be seen :) but I have hidden most of it.
Also John the wire I've been using has been awful. Just using it up before using the new stuff. I plan to go over and neaten up all the welds but making sure everything lines up before changing everything!
The alarm system from a series spares is excellent still trying to work out how everything is suppose to go :)

[ChrisG10]

Right just a small amount of stuff done. as ive not been well.











so there is the beast of an alarm system from A series spares.
I did get a little more done than that working out where all the wires went in the lounge Noting better than working inside :)
Then i started thinking about the radio and speakers about how to hide it all :)






So there we go thats where the front speakers are hidden :) Had to spacer the speaker back a bit. Obviously these speakers are bigger than the ones that were supposed to fit in there. to be honest i havent checked as to if theres room when its in the car. Will do that tomorrow!

Where the wiring passes through the top of the flitch, you might want to get a rubber grommit for it to pass the wiring through, or you'll end up with the wiring rubbing, eventually earthing = sparks = fire or loss of electrics.

Looking good otherwise!

[ChrisG10]

Yeah I have already thought of that lewis Its already wrapped in grey loom tape and black loom tape. There was a rubber grommet glued there but it came out so i was going to a rubber tubing like cooling pipes and slide some of that on.
That will be better. Dont you think?
