Moving Slowly

Latest quick update.....

BBQ and home made punch equals no work done to project

Well not quite nothing.

Loom is labelled with label gun thing.
The loom is half out now and tucked safely away in a drawer so am hoping will be ok (hoping like hell as can feel the frustration of finding labels on the floor already)
Ok the very short update for the project.
At the end of last week we spent a few hours finalising the wiring loom. All excess wiring has been removed from the loom. Electric windows / central locking / heater controls etc etc are now all gone.
Worrying moment was starting on the Clifford alarm system - ahem, I dont have a clue why we all pay so much to have these fitted or how much the insurance companies really think these do! It was removed in no time at all and I really think that there are a lot of cars out there with not so much security as people may think
So with wiring removed as much as we feel appropriate the test was starting the car......would you believe it fired straight up
FInal couple of hours of that evening where spent starting to brace the suspension turrets etc. Just want some form of being able to remove the suspension mounts and keep them in roughly the correct geometry. So we decided to start and weld a frame like strut braces, and add some reference bars so we can weld in the new turrets in the 205 using levels etc.

Next stage - engine and running gear out and finish the bracing for the suspension tie ups. Hopefully tomorrow evening.
