it is no longer getting painted by the bodyshop.. my uncle is now doing it tuesday night through to wednesday afternoon, and should have it back wednesday night, and fully built back up thursday soemtime, so im really happy with that :thumb:

anyway tomorrow ill drive her up from the bottom unit to the top ones, take all my bits and pieces etc out that ive gatherd in the boot since its been not running, pop the battery on charge, jobs a goodun :thumb:

anyway took delivery of my new door the other day, going to use this as a spare as their hard enough to get nowerdays, so this will go into storage for god knows how long lol

pics of it, it is truley mint, few light dents etc but structurally solid. not one spec of rust anywhere, just wet/dry mud. brilliant for £20 :thumb:

small updates

hopefully off to my uncles tuesday morning, and im prepping it etc with him that night, paint wednesday, hopefully have it back late wednesday/early thursday. anyway i had to do something to it as its been sat for 4 weeks without being touched

first job was a new battery after the old one had gone flat again, every battery ive had has been "bad", so i went to halfords and got a "back door" one :thumb: ive also conquered my fear of car batteries :thumb::D

anyway, forst job was to fit my bright white headlight bulbs that i got off a scrapper the other week.. you cant see much differnce in the pics, but they are totally different colours when your next to them

then i got a interior blue led bulb out of the same car, so rather than waste it i fitted it to the interior light

didnt like it atall.. too chavvy and f*ck all brightness, so rather than it go to waste, i pulled my glevebox out and found the light wiring wrapped in the loom, as poverty novas didnt have a glovebox light lol, so got a bulb holder from a cavalier, plonked it in, poped the bulb in, wired it all up, and now looks like this

lollol

Where was the wiring for the glovebox light?
Mine dont have it :confused:

take the glovebox out, and theres a big thick clump of wire, unraven that black sticky tape crap and there will be some more of it under that, undo that again and their tucked away nice and tight in the middle of all the wires lol. only one mine doesnt have it a boot one lol

Oh right,Lol.

Aye, as Dave said, its tapped into the loom behind the glove box.

lol boot and engine bay ones are seperate the wires that they plug into are there
