Re: Restoration
Bonnet I had left the bonnet aside after removing the steel support frame from the Birmabright skin. https://i.postimg.cc/gkkt0zjw/IMG-20230726-120153.jpg The frame is like most of the steel parts after their 42 years of exposure to air, cold, heat, and moisture. Not too bad as it happens, but defi...

Re: Restoration
I've only managed to fit in a few jobs since last update. The transmission tunnel steel sections needed a bit of TLC where corrosion had done its thing. The so called 'gearbox diaphragm' (MRC5357), was rotten both ends where it supports the floor panels https://i.postimg.cc/sg2TQQvk/IMG-20230810-121...

Re: Restoration
Reading a forum post about fitting new jets, I thought to myself, oh shite, I forgot to put the tube back. Sorted it out today.

Guess who forgot to reconnect his wiper wash jets!

Re: Restoration
Back to doing some work then. The bonnet is next on the list. There's a bit of corrosion on the steel support frame so it will need to come out and have some work done. https://i.postimg.cc/YSmswd9b/IMG-20230725-131638.jpg It's quite eaten away at the front ends https://i.postimg.cc/cHRkv6f3/IMG-202...

Re: Restoration
Those missing brackets where driving me insane; where the hell are they? Sorted through my photos and look ... https://i.postimg.cc/W32FLb68/brackets.jpg ... they're there. I took them off the panel stripping it apart. I have searched through my bags of bits taken off, boxes of bits that live in the...

Re: Restoration
I've been dry fitting the front wings and panel to make sure it all goes where it's supposed to before I commit to paint. I've spent more time searching for the 2 front angle brackets that secure the front grill to the panel than actually fitting anything. I took them off but have no idea where they...

Re: Restoration
After mulling over what to do with the seat box I decided it would be a whole lot easier to just replace the rusting boxes. I didn't feel motivated enough to remove rust, modify to take a bigger or duel battery setup, and try to make good, so opted to order new aluminium boxes from YRM. I would have...

Re: Restoration
The heater blower is not really a priority right now and I want to push on, so turned my attention to the seat box. It's in good condition apart from one end panel that has some corrosion damage, and a lot of surface rust on the outside of the battery and tool boxes. https://i.postimg.cc/fWSjzkz9/IM...

Re: Restoration
Heater Blower The last part that had been sitting in the pile with the dash parts was the heater blower. I made a start on this while I was doing the crash pad repair. I stripped it down and put the snail and some brackets, etc., in the electrolysis bath to de-rust. Not sure what happened, but I ca...

Re: Restoration
Carrying on with repairs. Next on the list is the upper dash crash padding. Like so many, mine has cracked and has damage to the foam padding. A previous owner had made an extremely poor attempt at a repair with some god awful silicone. I pulled that off and cleared the damage so that I could better...

Re: hazard switch wiring circuit
You're being a bit negative IMO. :shock: It's just a simple hand drawn sketch showing where the loose coloured wires in the loom go, illustrating the outcome of our conversation within the context of this thread and what is present on my own vehicle. I included the hazard loom kit part number in the...

Re: Restoration
I've been discussing this in another thread, but for the sake of completeness: I got back onto wiring as fitting the lower fascia, etc. back in place, so making sure I have loom and option wiring all running in the right place. It should all be straightforward really, but it's a bit confusing here a...
