Bloody ages since my last update. Not long after the last one my landlord told me he wanted the garage back. So instead of finishing the car I spent two months moving everything into storage. I haven't been able to find another garage so eventually (after being very grump for a month or two) I decided to wait until I can buy one, and finish the car back on the drive where it started.
It's been home for a couple of weeks and since then, lots of progress.
- Headlight buckets are in
- Grille and front number plate mount are on
- Original loom has been stripped back and modified for new lights
- EV loom has been largely redone, with just battery management and heater wires to go
- Brake booster arrangement has been redesigned and refitted
Got a little more to do at the front end (fit the headlights, finish wiring, new gas shocks, fix the power steering, fit and wire in the heater - if only to get it out of the house), then the plan is the flip the car around and start on the back end (rear light buckets, number plate surround, charge ports, door shuts - currently too tight).
Back to doing two videos a week on the
YouTube channel (where work/family permits). Goal is MOT in July, then in for paint/wrap. Might be optimistic - not least as to whether my budget will support that/any paint shop will take it on with the amount of prep required, but we'll see.
Slightly jumbled photos but you get the idea.
