Hi Mark

You've made a nice progress on your car, and your wire loom is also installed I guess ;)

I'm wondering how this routing would be in the tunnel ( I already started a topic, but not much info for the moment...)

Can you maybe inform how you did install your wire loom?

I replied to your thread, everything is in the correct place except for the battery cable through the tunnel. It’s strapped to the side out of the way as it was too tight to get both in the correct place.

Thanks and cheers
Mark

Finally found some time to get back on it after a few very busy months. Some progress has been made.

Apart from finishing the interior, I’ve still got to torque the rear drums and get it on its wheels. Then need to get it running.

The top can wait until winter. I did get it registering so it should be good to go soon.

It’s been a while since I posted but I’m just waiting for the top to be installed now and I got a few short runs in before the winter.

Bea-u-tiful, Mark. It'll be nice to see it and at a monthly gathering one day.

Send your motor and transmission to Jack Moore's i just had my motor rebuild for the second time. Only had 1000 miles. If you only want once. Send it to Jack.
Would appreciate Jack Moore’s contact information. I have a 1600 needs a rebuild.
