First bootfair of the year.
Two hours out and back.
Back to yesterday.
While I worked on the heater blower and dash panels, Nick continued with the rear wiring and lights.
Found this unholy mess………
Resulting in 6 hours work to get right, to be tested later today.
And as always, nothing is easy.
He ended up having to cut the mounting bracket bolts as the rivnuts just spun around, and the space up the rear of the body is very limited.
Leading to this.
Much grinding, fabricating and time wasted fixing a previous builders mess us, we got to this point.
Mazda MX5 loom spliced into Ford parts.
And back in the body.
Threaded rod still to be JB Welded in place to hold brackets.
Wash, rinse, repeat on the other side.
Waterproof Connectors were a bit of a “bargain” at £16.00 for the box.
After much planning, measuring, I made up the “ducting” for the blower unit to hopefully connect with the director nozzles.
Then started to attack the actual blower unit box that was made up weeks ago.
I do love a step drill.
Too late for tears.
Possibly the most useful and underrated tool in this whole build.
Powerfile rocks.
Get one.
And ready for the ducting and base plate to be glued on.
Hope it all comes together.
Saw this on FB this morning.
A hot MX5 under there.
What shall we build next then?
