Hey guys another small update...

Iv got my bootlid all fitted up now...





Iv also got the main clocks fitted in the dash...




Today iv also fitted my inertia switch into the fuel pump circuit, i have been trying to work out how to fit the heater (due to the turbo box protruding right where it normally mounts... and i connected a battery up to check some of my circuits...

Doesnt seem like a lot works so im gonna have to go through it all... im getting power to the dash as the oil light and handbrake light come on and im getting power to the heated rear window switch cause it comes on when i press the switch, thats about it though... im gonna have to start checking fuses etc etc....

i think you will all agree its looking nice and its doing the style parts that give me the insentive to keep going...

thanks
Jim

It says your album is private, so that might cause the pics not to show, although the ones above are alright,
Have you had a change around of albums and stuff on your photobucket account?

[Big_jim]

Sorted now mate, thanks for that.... didnt even think of it!!!!

thanks

car looks very nice mate, quick question about the boot though, which way do you have the latch?

I take it you're not using the usual handle & lock setup?

[Big_jim]

No mate im not using lockable bonnet pins that i havent fitted yet.... i think its gonna look a lot better than the old style handle....

Thanks
Jim
