Nearly finished the loom, seems I had underestimated some of the lengths of cable required and had to wait for the new year to order it, then the fuse box has been proving a challenge to get connected up. Nearly there though.

I bagsied the AEM wideband from the upside down skip when we sold of the engine. Mr Fenton has very kindly tiged a 3rd lambda boss into my down pipe. When it's on the road, I'll be able to switch the lambda from the Y piece into one leg and add the addtional gauge to the other leg and hopefully see how the fuelling compares on the inner and outers with the wet manifold efi.



Thanks Tom, much appreciated *smiley*

That was a pain in the arse, but bar a few bits and pieces it's in and sorted. At fucking last!



Also found a nice spot for the radio.

These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

It looks good and works well, but I think I assembled it in the wrong order, making it a bit of a pain the arse... Should have done the buzz bars for the fuses first, then the relays, then added the fused circuits one by one. Pleased it's 95% sorted though. *smiley*

Hey, that's where my radio is! It's proving to be merely an ornament though with the straight cut drops.

Nice work on the fuse box, great effort.

Still a bit to do, but it should be on the road late spring/early summer. Avon at the latest.

The wiring looks good - got to do something similar with my van at some point.

Should be interesting to see what the afrs are like with the lambda sensor in different positions.

It's been a little while since I have updated this. I've been cracking on though as time permits.

Here's some pitures of welding especially for Tom as he likes my welding so much *wink*






I was going to bolt and bond an alu plate into the battery box hole, but wasn't sure if the mot tester would like that, so I've stuck some steel in instead.



Got my seat frames sorted.







Passenger seat is a little high, but otherwise the seat positions are good. *smiley* Also stuck some bracing in to support the isofix car seat bracket.



Then loads of little shitty bits of welding and grinding, which has left me with this.



And as of this afternoon, rolled over ready for it's under side fettling (thanks John).



On target to be at Avon this year. :)

Sort the underneath, a few more bits and bobs then get it painted *smiley*

Should go back together fairly quickly after that...

Will we be seeing your mini at Avon??

hoping to at least get it there running - a good couple of weekends should get me to that stage at least; not sure the interior and trim will all be finished but we'll wait and see
