Not yet mate, need to figure out what wires go where and swap the temp sensor over.

The whole loom mate, Gareth plugged things in but wasn't really sure what went where as its a C16XE loom on an X16XE engine.

Now for those who remember that inner rear arch from the beginning of the thread, I've had a poke and prod at it and its pretty ugly

I started scraping the emulsion off the doors, remember they had been brush painted white? And while at it I had a look at the bottoms, only one little bit of rust :) (mostly dirt you can see in the pics)

This Week End You Better Get Your Finger Out And Got Over There This Week. All Come Keep You On The Right Lines Mate If You Need To Go Y Gareth At Work

[wwmnw]

Got some stuff done today thanks to Gareth and Danny for their help.

Today has been mostly painting, although we ran out of paint primer and hardener (even though they were new tins, I wasn't happy with the paint so we kept re doing it til it was gone :( )

The results so far, its not a perfect job as the gun seems to have spat some crap on the panels, but it has been painted in a garage at the bottom of a garden and has been a learning curve for all involved.

We ran out of paint before we could do the rear quarters so had to zinc prime them as the car is outside for the moment

Should have moved the spare glass sets before painting eh, hindsight is a wonderful thing lol
