I think there are quite a number of people interested in the wiring loom.

Hi All,

Not much time on the car today, but did manage to...

Finish off installing the glass in the passenger door:


Second and final coat for these - ain't they purdee:


Even painted the inside of the number plate light - white (to aid in reflection):


That's it for the weekend. Cheers.

Hi All,

Well Super Gav and Mighty Mick paid a visit today and we did some work on Roger. I don't have a heap of pictures, but the work done was:

Re-Assemble the rear axle and install the brakes:


Install the coil and remove the Voltage Regulator..


Install the original number plate light:


Bleed the clutch (including a running repair on the fluid reservoir) - DONE

Bleed the brakes... Well we started on this and everything was going great until we got to the last brake (drivers side front)... We discovered a faulty wheel cylinder - even though it is completely brand new...

Gav got a start on installing the wiring loom - but I shall leave that up to him to describe in more detail for those interested.. The head scratching continued but between Gav & Mick they worked out what was going on - without any help from Autosparks as the loom comes without any instructions...
