A little inside

 Finally found a couple of hours to spend in the garage. It would have been more but money was waved at me,so I spent the morning working on some one else's car.

I did manage to find the internal light wires and mounting holes that where hiding behind the roof liner. It took a lot of gentle stretching of the liner and carful poking through it with a bradel, to not leave any damage that would be seen.

I had managed to wire up connections for the later light version, but a quick check with a great group on face book put me straight. 

Whilst changing the connections I found the head light switch which had gone awall. So it only seemed right to move onto the switch panel. After a little double checking I fitted a few connections to blank wires and added illumination wiring for the headlight switc, all was going good. I got to the last switch and noticed it was wrapped in black tape.... Holding the 2 halves together. Oh well, avoided buying a head light switch but now need a hazard switch. Well it was good to be finishing some of the important interior.

A bit of closure

 At last, the doors are getting there. New colour coded handles are fitted to both doors, glass is in, internal locks re attached and the weather strips are installed. Boy those "shall I bother, those will be so easy I could do it later" weather strips !! Note to self do the internal one first the. Do the external one or brace your self for one big work up to send them fully home.

Before I cracked on doing the doors today I decided it was time for a fresh to do list. I have relied on these to try and keep the focus going to prioritise the order of works and also give my self a chance to ponder on the forth coming steps and check for parts, as best I can! Well this list might well be the last one I do, and to top it off there are not that many scary/expensive jobs there. 

Well I'm sure there will be some surprises left for me, especially as we will be entering testing stages in the not to distant future. But for now we take the positive.

It's been a while

 As it's been a while I thought I should update...... With what?

It has been odd. I have been doing bits but looking at it, nothing much seems to have changed.

A test fit of the brake servo led onto moving the bias valve and make a new fixing for the servo brace to bulkhead.

I had fun refitting the doors, might have turned out me doing re Ferb work in little stints bit me. Turned out I had 2 drivers handles so I did one door and came to a Holt as the exterior handle is the first item to on. A few weeks and a few false promises of the correct parts I ended up with a pair of colour coded handles. I was torn, I had the parts (only one component is handed and quick to swop over) but with so little chrome going back on Marmite colour coded handles had been a thought for a while.

Yes, gone for the slight step back and I colour coded the handles after a strip down and prep. So I am fully loaded to re start the doors but I can finish the main hard ware fitment.

I am still adiment I will source and fit the bezel rings on the fresh air vents, I have one so either a cheap copy will be made or I'll do a silicon mould and make a proper one from scratch. Yes you guessed it, like rocking horse poo getting those rings on there own.

Today was a nice mile stone though. The front screen is in, a bit of a work up getting the rubber seal to sit right before fitting the needing. But all done and next time I see the internal mirror I'll pop that on.

Fresh in is a brand new interior light and led bulb, I just have to soften the roof liner enough to find the mounting bracket on the car to fit that one !!

Well we are moving forward and have a few jobs I can still get on with before I go over to my parents to fit the last of the ancillaries and bring the engine back to fit it.

Watch out project blinky, there is a slim chance I may beat you yet?!? I'm no way near their standard, but then I'm no way near as experienced.
