Head Lining Out and a finish on the horizon
Pretty painless removing the old headlining, scrubbed and jet washed will be refurbing and fitting tomorrow. Whilst it is out,
- new aerial for the Alpine - boosted for both the DAB and AM/FM and works better than the window fitting DAB by a long way -
- rear camera fitted to the underside of the Upper brake light wired to the front with a Toguard 12" display, able to wiped 'clean' by rear wiper
- USB power from the sunshield light attachment and relocated the EWP Controller to make it easier to see.
- Removed the two rearmost seat belts and headrests as never to run back seats again.
The sunroof drain above the drivers head was broken (other 3 where fine) and hence why the previous owner would have siliconed around the sunroof. Going to cut back the rubber and use the soldering iron to weld the bit back on and follow off with epoxy and fly wire
To finish off going to do a couple more things tomorrow;
- Run the Electric Brake Controller and mount it with the EWPC and Toguard Mirror
- Fitting the 315Mhz key controller as well to go with the SLS lowering PLIP from the US.
- Mounting the twin Engine guard up high with the EWPC etc.
- Fitting an electric water pump spout to just behind the back door for when I install the water tank.
- Run cameras for the Alpine unit which is two front mounted either side and rear reversing camera mounted just above the tow ball.
So the way I look at it now, after this will just be some cosmetic issues such as the handbrake and low range surrounds, fitting the upright fridge and Air Compressor while as I wait and see what happens with the 8 speed ZF. If that doesn't become available then will get the HD V8 torque convertor finally done and look forward to the next big trip.
