Tidying inside up

Spent some time today putting the interior back together, as never really did after changing the heater matrix as got my interested in doing the engine!

Ended up gutting all the old wiring out, and re doing it all, using a multicore from cabin to bay as fed up with a thousand cables thro the bulkhead!

The mess:



IPP gauge / various switchs (ive given up on making things look clean / tidy inside now)




Wiring is obviously covered up though in attempt to look tidy...

Almost back together :



Notice the glove box top box has been converted into a wiring center, as its useless for anythig else anyway, so just removed the box part, attached hinges to dash and lots of room now for wiring!

The new third boost gauge to monitor manifold boost levels, the most win gauge ever, acquired from james's work, win for many reasons, A because it goes to 100psi not just 60, but mainly because the green area is between 40 - 60psi...WIN?!!?



Have also wired up elec pas again / new relay, and same for rad fans. Has also been a breakthrough with regard to the bonnet fail, and with some carefull (not pretty) injector line adjustments / other modifications, the bonnet SHOULD now close / not foul the engine. Lines arnt pretty, and will be replaced at some point, but should be functional for now.

Thanks for reading
