#272629 decided to remove the ariel today - will be abit loud for a stereo in there
sanded, fiberglass, sanded, filler, more sanding, primer
Image
Image
Image

then some more sanding and filler as there was a flat bit in the middle
Image

decided to tackle the engine loom today
attached it to the engine and plugged everything in so i could start tucking it abit
Image

started on the dizzy side with pulling the wires in and taping them up after pulling the slack wire
Image
Image

then after the whole thing was done it looked like this
Image

so took it all off and started to cover it up with conduit tubing and taping it up
Image
Image

didn't cover and tape up the driver side plugs yet as wanted to check for length after a test fit
Image
Image

so it all fitted well, took it off again, taped up the driver side plug wiring - i have left a few wires untaped as they are for attaching to the gearbox, will do them later
