Well, undid most of the wiring i did yesterday due to one wire left inside the car,
This has now been put right, the headlights are now working after 1.5 hrs tracing an earthing fault, and the indicators now work on alarm cycle due to me wiring them to an earth and not the live,
(give me credit a lot of wires were floating about in the engine bay as i rewired it)
Wipers, horn and heating now work also,
All that is left now is make and fit the new fuel lines and brake pipes (getting nylon fuel pipe and brake pipe from autofactors on Tuesday).
Fit the gauges fit fuel tank, underseal car, fit engine and box and exhaust system then MOT !!!!!!!!,
Hope to have the majority of car finished over the next week and have the engine running by the end of the weekend at the latest........
