    well a update with pictures

    We decided to fit the engine loom into the car and see where we can mount the ecu plus we needed to sort out the coolant temp wire,oil pressure wire, rev counter (due to it being a 1ltr it doesnt have a rev counter wire into the clocks) also a ecu light and sort a diag plug so we can read anycodes it might throw up, Also we needed to sort out some water pipes due to it being a 1ltr we can not use the old rad (will be putting up a wanted thread soon )so once the pipe work was sorted we moved onto the loom we cut a hole into the bulk head threaded that through and started to wire up the clocks making sure we had everything working now due to we want the loom to be removable ive bought some wiring plugs off ebay



    Not the best pic but you get the idea
    so with the wiring sorted and tested we were happy with the results so far



    We then started on the light making sure we had all new bulbs for the head lamps side lights brake light and indicators found we were missing a side light bulb holder and the number plate light ! im sure they are around some where


    After that we decided to under seal the front panel as my son got some paint but it was the wrong shade so its been stone chipped black for the min




    So a few update pics of whats been done so far





    So thats how it stands at the mo once its fully running and movable we will start on the rear end, The only reason we have started putting it back together is to make sure that the engine(as we didnt hear it running ) and everything else works moves and stops and starts once its all been done it will be stripped back down and paint work will start on the items fitted aswell as the shell
