Thanks Steve.

Last bits should be finished tomorrow. All that's left is check and correct the spot light wiring, attach screen to bonnet and bonnet to body. Bolt the heater pipe flanges to the flanges on the exhaust and I'm done. Completely. MOT time baby

Well,

Had another good crack this afternoon.

Spot light wiring corrected. Not entirely sure what was wrong, looks like the flying lead from the main beam to switch the relay was the issue. I remade the lead then tested continuity from the battery through the fuse box, basically all the connections. All seemed good so back on with the bonnet, reconnect the wiring and test. First test didn't go to plan. Spots no worky......untill I realised the wiring running through the bumper wasn't connect to the bulbs...... Anyhow, a couple of tests later and an earth to the bumper (H1 bulbs suck) and all was good. Result.

The above took a while. Needed to be sure it was all good as once the bonnet is on, its not coming off.

Next was mount the screen. Wife assisted with the pushing down and whilst its not too bad, I'm not massively happy with it but it will do for now. Bolts done up and job done. Didn't have any double sided tape at this point to do the wing beading so packed up at this point, just as the curry arrived. I also got the inside hoovered and the floorpan wiped down, along with the inside of the body. Got to be clean for the MOT man!

All that is left to do tomorrow is fit the bonnet properly with the wing beading and its ready.

Chad, yes buddy, very pleased and very proud of it. Two years of my life there... Can't wait to get it to a mids meet. Trying for July....

Neil, cheers buddy, means a lot coming from you. Yours and Lovebugs buggies were my inspiration. As for the Lego, I have one of Lego Hans projects on the go, the 10x6 tipper I'm building again.
