Default Its in

Right started this morning nice and early, took the wife into work for roughly half 7 and was back in lockerbie for around 8 ish. quick nip home to pick up the tools and away down to the parents.

ok there was alot more panels than i originally thought to be removed so took around an hour to remove all but one as stupidly didnt think id need spanners to remove the armrest.
so after an our i had something like this
the radio cage itself took another 20 mins to remove, didnt realise there was soooo many screws to remove including another trim panel.
The terminal blocks you can see in the pic are for the gauges as didnt want to completely remove the wiring but didnt want to leave any chance of a short on the line.

ITS IN AND WORKING



ok its working fin, however i was running out of time ( forgot the wife was on a half day and had to pick her up at half 12) so trying to get the trim panels back on became rushed.
the glove box isnt fitting properly as the base needs to go back around an inch, doesnt look so bad in the pic as theres a screw holding it to the radio cage.
but its hard to open just now
and because i couldnt remove the armrest to get under the carpet to the back seats the wirings sitting onto of the carpet just now.





but she works.

hope if i get a chance tomorrow before going to work to get these small issues sorted.
what i wont be getting fixed is the boot as theres currently wiring everywhere as didnt have the fuse holder with me or the distribution block so theres 4AWG wire with the thinner live wire wrapped round it and taped up, this will be done next Monday when ive got a lot more time
