Getting there then slowly tt?

Very Very Slowly.

Usual thing, get al the heavy big jobs done and then slow right down on the small things.

24V sierra is 12 Years Off road.

I got the passenger rear indicator and stop/tail fitted yesterday. And Dug out 2 faulty flasher relays before finding a working one.

I also found a 2 good lengths of 9 conductor cable ( from a granada or scorpio ) with the matching multiplugs. So that will be perfect for the main wiring runs.

2 days without kids arround so may make a bit more progress...

Day 1 without kids turned into about 2.5hrs ...

30 mins was spent looking for a marker pen I put down somewhere, the other 2hrs was fitting the rear wing on the drivers side..

Then the Helpere came back , so after lunch we fitted the drievers rear lamps.




Note that after IVA the yellow indicators will be replaced with clear lenses.

looking good I am just having a break building my build table

So at 9:45AM Kids gone with Inlaws, Wife off to Gateshead Ikea.... So time to have a coffee

Then crack on with something...

This is how the rear presently looks, I ordered rear fog/reverse/reflectors/ number plate lamp today.



Then I decided to continue my dash that I cut out probably 18 months ago. I decided to fit my little rev counter behind the steering wheel to fill a gap. But it needed a refurb first so rubbed down the bezel and sprayed it up.



I then fitted my Acewell Digi Dash recessed into the panel.

I have ordered some switches as well today. These are needed along with some foam padding before I can proceeed.



And since the family had still not returned I went to B&Q on the hunt for something to hold my flexible conduit that will be my wiring lanes, 20mm plumbing pipe clips are absolutely perfect!! Mounted on a bit of salvaged galvanised C-Channel they look quite nice , the one in the photo is actually for the transmission tunnel but it gives the idea.

The gap round the acewell was left in order to get the vinyl in.

The counter after it's respray.
