Day started with me waking at 03.18
No sleep after that, not ideal.
But once I got started, some housekeeping, and in the 5’C temperature outside, I decided to use my paint stripping heat gun to warm the battery bridge before giving it some satin black
Once that was done I started on some CAD to create the insert for the transmission tunnel to make space for the heater/blower unit.
Once transferred and cut out of a sheet of Dexian cabinet backing I folded it ……….
More to be done, grinding back the hole in the transmission tunnel to almost perfectly square and also a couple of flanges needed cutting to weld onto the sides that can be bolted down.
@nickwheeler came around later as well, and with a coffee kickstart he was off……..
Loads of little jobs, including removing the wiring harness that had been attached to the chassis and then winding up a pair of wires we still have no idea of what they do……
Could be a reverse light.
Any ideas?
Another job Nick had been wanting to do for a few weeks was to relay the loom into the rear of the car, a few more holes are needed to get the fuel system wiring in under rhe rear bed.
Also prepared was the earth cable and live wires to get them connected to the battery.
Nick soldered the lugs together as well, kinda impatient jobs.
The day turned out to be one of those that showed little, but a ton of stuff got done.
Progressing the build quite a lot more.
Stand by for more updates.
