I've got some Merc wheels to go on but undecided whether they'll stay. Just waiting for a pair of adapters.

I've been putting car back together after getting it back.
All side trims are on (textured), lights, bumper and grill. I'm still awaiting a bulb holder for my anni indicators.





I cleaned up under the front arches and gave a good few coats of underbody wax to prevent any corrosion. Then trimmed the guards to suit rolled arches. Wings were also seam sealed.



Even tried the wheels on.  :cool: They sit well on the front. Final offset ET21 with the adapters.

Re: Mk3 ABF 16vT on MS Extra V3.0 - Puddle Lights
« Reply #126 on: 14 July 2012, 21:05 »
Before fitting door cards back on i wanted to wire up the puddle lights i had. From viewing a few late cars, I realised that these could be fitted without too much trouble. All you need to purchase from dealer is a couple of wire pins for the 32 pin connector in the door. Pn - 000 979 129E Price ~£2.50 per wire with a pin at each end. :shocked:



These needed to be fitted into the door side loom after removing plug. pins 8 & 9 need filling. #8 is +ve #9 -ve

Before


After


I then soldered a loom up to the correct length and attached the plugs. This was wrapped up along side the original door loom .



Fitted and working.



Also after fitting 02J tower, I had no revesing lights due to it having a different connector plug. This was rectified by making up an adapter to join them together so i didn't havce to cut and solder engine loom in that cramped area.

Female plug and wires got from dealer (pn 1J0 973 702 and 000 979 131E) Connected to a male 2 pin found on a mk3 breaker.
