My mate Dougie (auto sparky) came over yesterday.
We tidied up lots of bits and pieces.
The previous owner, also a sparky, had fitted lots of stuff, because he could.
It had the most horrible interior lights known to mankind front and back.
The rears, set up down low like a foot light, were in a turd of a spot..... they're gone now, for practicalities sake.
It also has wiring in place for a second fuel tank, from back when he popped the car in the odd rally.
We did away with a few things, (2nd tank wiring was one) changed some stuff, like now having LED interior lights, some of the switches were getting tired, and we set up the boot light again.
We were going to replace the mercury switch set up, but in the end, because it was old and pretty cool, the mercury switch stayed.
All that's left now for a roadie, is the windscreen washer motor is knackered.
Because the car has Mini Cooper style indicator assembly, hi beam in on the stalk.
But, there is still a small push button on the floor?
Turns out, if you want a quick swipe of the wipers and don't want to take ya hands off the wheel. tap the button with ya foot or hold it down for as long as you want them on.
(would be a throw back to the rally days i'm guessing)
He didn't rally it much though, the floors and rails haven't been hammered at all.
I think, it will get some Uncle Reg on either Tuesday or Wednesday now.
