What can I say - what a difference a day makes - things are looking very good, as a result of a great team working on the car.

Although I didn't *just* drive it myself.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

It immobilised itself for about half an hour this evening, when being tested.

Not happy about that.

AB ECU (non-immob) same pinout and connector as the BE (immob)?  Does anyone know?

but on a Positive note, my update  :kiss:

both seats now in, lots of room for the larger passenger and driver combo's that will be going on  :cool:



the next job took a LONG time, as it was very much cut, try, cut more etc etc more fabrication of new brackets to resecure the clocks in a viewable position as the cable route had to be changed due to a cage bar

some more fabrication and the dashboard and clocks look almost standard, but if only you knew  :whistle:





Washer bottle was relocated to the boot, however a wiring / switch issue stopped them from working, so a spot of genius, some wire running round the boot and the now defunct rear demist switch operates the washer pump  :laugh:



next up , the bonnet cable was removed for cage fittment, so some funky new catches to match the swanky seats - first side was a tw4t, but live and learn and the other side took abotu a 1/4 of the time.



we like sparks









so after a VERY busy 3 days the old girl is almost ( well he broke it on test  :rolleyes: ) ready, and I am fooking knackered  :laugh: this grafting lark is not good !

Final issues thrashed out last night, I think.

Ready to go, which is just as well as we're on the 07:15 boat tomorrow morning.
