Okay, time for more pics....

After a bit more fine filler, I cut the filler panel to shape which will cover the 6x9 holes.

This is the filler panel if you didn't guess already :)

If I had my time over I would have recessed the sub or made the box so it could be inverted (but rollcage gets in the way)....but still looks good I think.....will look better after paint.

After a bit of clearancing the passenger kick panel went in.... a little pursuasion was required due to the tight fit, but they got there eventually!

Two bolts accessed through tweeter/woofer holes and one through the port hold them in place - all of which are a pain in the ar$e to access but to have them hidden from view it had to be done.

Just a little work on the wiring system - I threaded some plastic tube through both heater channels for the wiring - here is the stinger 1/0 gauge cable that will power the amps...more progress to come.

Took a couple of hours to lay out all The cables to figure out what had to go where (wanted to avoid pulling the wrong cables through the wrong spot!).

After a bit of lube (silicon spray) assisted slipping the cables through both tubes - especially the 1/0 power cable.

Knocked up an MDF mounting box for the fuse panel - wires everywhere at the moment but it should be pretty sano once done. Painted it in body colour so it looked the goods (sorta).

As you can see, I still have a bit of work ahead of me!

He just keeps going and going. :agree:
The sicker you think, the player you get :laugh:
Once again,,,,, very nice work. :cool:

Dont you just love that fusebox..
Looks good man..
Peace Troy

Over the weekend, managed to solder wire ends and insert them into fuse panel. Bit more tidying still to come....and haven't started under the bonnet yet!

I had the sub box insert panel covered in vinyl (same as seats etc) by the upholsterer....then filled around the edges to make it a flush fit.

After some more fine filler and high build primer, not to mention more sanding....base and clear coat will go on. Should be a nice contrast with the vinyl.

Nice
That was a very good idea
Looks Classy
How do you like the Watson kit so far?¿
Peace Troy

Thanks Troy.

Watsons kit so far is really good. The instructions are very comprehensive and for someone like me with very little experience in auto electrics, it makes the process a lot easier. The marked wires are also very useful. I haven't found anything wrong with it yet actually!

Your going the most amazing job with all of this. I'm really impressed with your attention to detail in every arena!

Jason

I do love the marked wires..
the fuse box it trick looks great on that base you made..
Keep us posted on the Project of the year..
Peace Troy

Wiper and headlight switches are back in place (but not yet wired up) and the little alloy retaining nuts were polished up. New ignition switch also in place (which has an accessory position).

Monster tach back into position as well and wired up - expanable nylon cable conduit was used to keep the wires tidy, and rubber grommet for wires through the body of course.
http://www.netspot4u.com/~manxclub/a...ay12.sized.jpg

All those connections took bloody ages to solder, join, clamp into connectors, heatshrink and bolt in place. It will all be tidied up a little more once I get the ignition switch, wiper and headlight switches and wiper motor sorted.

..... any more!! ...... any more!!! ....... jejejejejeje


:)

I made a switch panel out of aluminium and gave it a brief polish (a hazard switch off late model beetle, then three switches (one for fuel pump, one for windscreen washer, and one spare).
http://www.netspot4u.com/~manxclub/a...ay17.sized.jpg

Pic is a bit blurry but you get the idea - because the original fuse box is no longer used, I thought it was a perfect spot for the switches.
http://www.netspot4u.com/~manxclub/a...ay17.sized.jpg

Two stainless button head bolts with nylock nuts secure the panel in place.

I layed down another coat of high build primer on the sub box today...bit more filler required to smooth out some imperfections before the base coat colour goes on. You can see the recessed section for the vinyl insert.
