As always, sterling work... I have been meaning to rellocate my battery for about a year now.  Planned to get the shizzle from beemer.  Where's the battery box from?

Thanks mate, yeah just got the cable from a Beemer, annoyingly it weren't quite long enough but as I added the fuse in I got a bit more wire so now all good. Then just a few distribution boards and all good..... Hopefully! Lol
Battery box was from a 4mo  :lipsrsealed:

This arrived, oil pressure and temp in one



Should look good I reckon.



Going to play around and get a good colour combo they come with different faces, ordered some vinyl wrap so hopefully can getting it looking good

Got this wkend free so will hopefully wire and plumb it all in and get it working.

I tided up the vac hoses a bit and now with the battery out of the way can fit the other filter.






So plans for the wkend wire everything back in, battery, gauges, EBC etc and make a cover for the old battery tray and make sure it all works!  :smiley:

I would love to take the credit for the inlet but I bought it from the USA,it the obx inlet. Cannot fault it, really well put together, good welds and good design for a reasonable price unlike some of the others.

Bring on the wkend  :smiley:

Didnt do anywhere near as much as I wanted this wkend but did a couple of bits.

Needed to join the battery wires together running from the boot so made a joiner, will work just need to insulate it.

Drilled a couple of holes in a bit of tube and threaded them.


wires in each side, screw them down and all good




Gauges in



Fitted the EBC into the vent looks a bit better now



But going to be a little while before I'm back on the road again, lol.



Got side tracked removing these ready for fitting, got door cards hand rest everything ready for fitting :smiley:

Did a few bits today but have been waiting all wk for a innovate lead so I can connect the 2 gauges up. Then can log info from both gauges. It turned up and they sent the wrong f**king lead so the plan of having them all wired in and dash back in place this wkend has going out of the window!  :angry:

So stripped out the rest of the seats and started putting in the leather seats

Seats everywhere






Decided not to to put the fronts in yet gives me more space to work in.

Welded the earth in for the battery





Got some touch up paint somewhere and paint it up. Now have to send back the other lead and wait for the right one to arrive!

At least I've got the next project to keep me busy in the meantime  :grin: Major part arrived today  :lipsrsealed:
