Re: project:UFO
done some work on the car today..started sorting the loom out which i had been putting off
i dont want any wires visible in the engine bay so the main part of the loom is going down the inner wing.
so,wing off....


i enlarged the hole where the wiring for the side repeater goes through and run the loom through and down the wing...


and all the wires come out where the indicator is ...


also i made a peanel for the fuse box to mount to as the dash was cut down a bit too much

also wired wired up some shift lights..

bought a fuel pump mount but need to make a mount for that so it fits the floor

oh a pick just for jay

Re: project:UFO
ah right i see mate, was gunna offer to make something up but i havent got any alloy that size.
although i might be able to get some through a mate of a mate if your stuck.
might be air craft grade though so unless sorted before hand will crack when bent, but i can find out what he can get and let ya know?
