With all the engine bits done time to install the exhaust. It was a nice sunny day so I wheeled the car outside and tidied up the garage again (Sandra muttered something about why I was hovering the garage when the lounge needed cleaning?).
Fitting the exhaust was pretty straightforward ... all the pipes slotted together quite easy. After the IVA test I think I will remove the heat shield as I don't like the cheese grater look ...the silencer is on the passenger side so I won't burn my legs getting in and out!
Next to the dashboard ... I drilled the dashboard blank first and then set about fitting all the gauges and switches. I realised that the heated screen switch was missing ... another call to parts department.
Armed with my Dymo Labeller I then set about labelling all the loom connections with some permanent labels ... figured it would be easier to id cables once they were installed and in case I needed to remove the dash in the future. Here's the spaghetti ready for the dash to go in ... next weekends' job.
Hey Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI loved Sandra's comment the most.
Talk about priorities :).
Also, though you mentioned that you did not like the Cheese grater, I found it pretty cool & it had a nice retro look as well.
