Productive day yesterday, Electrics panel fitted up with coil, fuse box and FBO ECU, recurved dizzy dropped in and all wired up. Been scratching my head for a while about the big hole in the tunnel where the shifter fits through. There's no boot available that will fit without modifying the tunnel, so I made a cardboard template to fit around the shifter, and a plastic lid from a recycling box got cut up to make the cover. It's ideal because it's flexible enough to be able to bend around stuff to get it into position, you wouldn't be able to fit it if it was solid. Mocked up the roll cage, starting that tomorrow, how many days till the Nats? :roll:

Big thanks as ever to Gary Layton for yesterdays 8 hour weldathon. 4 point chrome moly roll bar all done and a very nice job too. Got something solid to attach the seats and belts to now, front half will be added over the winter. Just need to paint and chuck it all back together and I'm ready.
