Just business premises, opening a shop front for our I.T. repair business. Hard Work. No Easter for me.

Managed to get a few hours outside with my car this Sunday. Played around with the body work to see if these mirrors I bought would work. They do but only just so I'll probably fit a pair of 'e' marked ones that came off one of my old mans mobility scooters lol. Got a bit carried away taking pictures of it.









Had to cut the scuttle around my peddle box, tricky bit of work that so I made an mdf template first and with a few adjustments it went on ok and I could pin down it's final position. I'll be able to use the original mx5 column shroud with no big gap between it and the dash which was handy.

Glad it's inspired you, we all need as much motivation as possible to finish these cars I think.

EYES?

TaDa!



There's loads more pictures on the stream.

To fit lights i had to do this to a brand new 21mm spanner!



As you can see I've moved the light up and forward to get the indicators in a IVA legal position, mimicking Caterham's design.

After 25 hours in the garage my horn now works, well one of them anyway!

Tomorrow night I should have the headlights and front indicators wired up and the fuse box and relays finalised.

Leaving the dash wiring and the rear light wiring until the body work and tunnel is fitted although it will all be tested beforehand.

All the steering column is wired up along with the mx5 brake switch and instrument cluster.

I've made the wiring loom so that is can be unplugged from the engine loom for when I fit another engine. I've also used the mx5 wiring diagrams so that I can easily, lol, find faults in the future.
