Blimey what a weekend! Well I decided to get the interior finished on the V8 before i start work on the water/oil/fuel side of things.

 

First job was to sort out the gearlever, the gearbox sat a little bit too far forward so i had to make up an extender to get the gear lever to meet up with the leather gator.

 

 

I ground the lever down a little (still a bit more to do later on when i have time and the car's on the road) and fitted everything and hooray, one gear lever sorted out.

 

Next job was feed through some wires from the bulkhead to the centre console and label up each end so i know what it's all supposed to connect to the other end.

 

 

 

A lot of soldering later i finally got the power all sorted out and the gauges lit up. Hazards worked but the indicator stalk wasn't working, neither were the leccy windows, no power to the entire car on position 2 on the key. Alarm wasn't working either SO time to rip out the old alarm and bypass everything until i have time to fit the new alarm.

 

It was getting a bit dark in the garage and soldering is not the easiest thing to do in the dark so had to give up for today but all wires are connected to the main display and we have life! :hyper:

 

Just got to wire in the last 3 gauges and install the piller pod and then everything can go back in
