How did you get the rear quarter windows out?

 

It's looking really good, love the green :)

 

These were already out mate however its just sealant so a heat gun with some outward preassure should get it loose. also there should be 2-3 screws holding it on.

 

Thnks mate, the green is nice. cnt wait till there fitted with my SRD intake :)

So today did some more wiring in the form of the front loom with the Fuse box.

 

Now I'm trying to have all the wires as hidden as I can. So placed them in line to have a look. The plastics that go near the lights had to be removed and i re tapped the wires to make it neat.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=193659&stc=1&d=1415042510attachment.php?attachmentid=193660&stc=1&d=1415042649

 

Did the same on both sides. Zip tied in place for now till i can get some clips. The ABS relays are gonna be underneath the offside wing to keep them hidden.

 

Now been playing with the Fuse box to figure out where i could put it. I know people have tried every which way possible but I still tried.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=193666&stc=1&d=1415042854

 

I know that's a silly place but really couldn't fit it any where else.

 

As i don't want it in the bay this came with the car when I got it.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=193667&stc=1&d=1415042946

 

It has already been lengthened what looks like enough to go into the cab. So I will be cutting and rejoining it all. Question is I want to be able to disconnect them again so are bullet connectors or similar OK to use on this. Suggestions will be much appreciated.

 

So before I do all that decided to carry on with the interior, So I sorted out the engine loom so everything goes through the same hole again to make it neater.

Put it through the hole into the cab so its there and then I can continue with the dash.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=193669&stc=1&d=1415043709

 

Once it was in, I connected what I can then placed the heater matrix unit in. I hope it still works as well as the fuse box as I know they have been sat for a few years. I'm guessing there is no way to tell until everything is complete?

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=193670&stc=1&d=1415043962

 

so tomorrow, steering column and bar then maybe the dash can all go in. Yay :)

If your going to cut your loom to re locate the fuse box somewhere in thcab using crimps. Space your crimps out otherwise you will end up with a clump of crimps in one area which may prove harder to hide, and i would also purchase a propper crimping tool and crimps. As the plastic coated crimps from the likes of halfords are just shite.

 

Get some like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3mm-Brass-Bullet-F-Crimp-Terminals-and-Covers-400pcs-/271557135646?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f3a110d1e#ht_55wt_1181

So after a couple of weeks with parades, marches and bull**** with work I finally got some time working with the car. Got a fair bit done today with some help from my mates.

 

First off continued to sound proof the car but I ran out of sheets so I need to buys some more but, its looking good.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=194847&stc=1&d=1417981041

 

Worked on the brake caps as well. Cleaned them and took off the horrible silver that was on there.

 

The green is a bit too green so not 100% about it but this is only temp till Dim Sum is back up and running and Im in the uk.

 

One is fitted just got to get round to doing the others.

 

What do you think?

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=194848&stc=1&d=1417981164attachment.php?attachmentid=194849&stc=1&d=1417981164

 

Fitted the clutch Master cylinder, very well polished again by Mr Rob Mitchell thanks, aswell as the Throttle cable and the Polished fuel filler necks. They look especially good. Thanks Rob :thumbs:

Looking forward to seeing this finished

 

Looking good so far !

 

Thanks mate, I am too :)

 

 

 

 

Little update, Got the steering colum in today, Fixed the new dash with Q Bond. Also stuck my fingers to it haha. Changed the dash Loom over with my old one as well.

 

All brakes are now on the car with lines all connected.

 

Was about to put the dash in but realized I have to take everything out again so I can push the extended fuse box wire through. Great :(

 

All good fun though. Loving it :)

Finally I have a dash and its almost a perfect fit. Think this is the first time it has been fitted since the re-trim so.

 

All the wiring is now connected however I cant figure out a couple of connectors but not sure they where ever connected to anything.

 

A random Pic as well.

Why don't you sandblast and paint/powdercoat the front crash bar while everythings out? it looks very rusty.

 

I want to mate but Im in Germany in the middle of nowhere and don't know anyone who can do it. :( Gonna get it done next winter when Im back in the UK

attachment.php?attachmentid=195187&stc=1&d=1418664295attachment.php?attachmentid=195188&stc=1&d=1418664295

 

Set the wires in place for my heated seats from the group buy. Just need to wire them in once I figure out what i can connect them to. Any ideas?

 

Bit that connects to the seat.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=195189&stc=1&d=1418664454

 

Switch to mount on the dash.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=195190&stc=1&d=1418664454

 

I also tidied up the wires to the rear and placed the amp wires in position.

Hopefully Ill get the rest of the interior in on Wednesday before i go on Xmas Leave. :)

Been a very productive day today. Managed to get quite a bit done on the interior.

 

First off I did the rear aerotop seal. Pretty simple to do and looks pretty good. :D

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=196250&stc=1&d=1421603563attachment.php?attachmentid=196251&stc=1&d=1421603563

 

As I had no metal bits that go between the front seal and the A pillar I used the ones from the hard top and cut them down. they actually look really good.

I then went on to fit the Front seal.

Had to make sure that with every seal that they were pushed into the grooves correctly.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=196252&stc=1&d=1421603761attachment.php?attachmentid=196253&stc=1&d=1421603761

 

From there I focused on the roof itself.

 

First off I placed everything out on the roof. 2x Seals L+R, 2x Brackets L+R

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=196254&stc=1&d=1421607471

 

I then went on to fit the re-trimmed leather roof lining, Fairly simple.

And then on to the seals on the side.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=196255&stc=1&d=1421607665attachment.php?attachmentid=196256&stc=1&d=1421607665

 

So that's brand new seals all round. God i hope it doesn't leak but we will have to wait and see.

 

And then a test fit of the roof to see what it looks like and how it lines up.

 

I am well chuffed with it. :)

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=196257&stc=1&d=1421607889attachment.php?attachmentid=196258&stc=1&d=1421607889attachment.php?attachmentid=196259&stc=1&d=1421607889

 

Then on to the interior. Carried on with the quarter panels and the roof. Fits well and looks really good. :thumbs:

Due to the roll cage the roof was modified to fit and works well. One pic is with out the extra bit and one with.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=196261&stc=1&d=1421608118attachment.php?attachmentid=196262&stc=1&d=1421608118

 

I then put the roof on again to see how it looks. Awesome I might say. ;)

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=196263&stc=1&d=1421608259

 

Carried on with the plastics left and right and the kick panels that holds the carpet to the side.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=196264&stc=1&d=1421608403

 

Rear seats in.

The rear back rest doesn't fold forward now, roll cage is in the way lol.
