Tim Hendy's Journal

So, it's been a mix of success and failure putting the car back together. Some jobs have gone way easier than expected and others, well, there has been much swearing in my garage.

The interior is mostly habitable, the wiring is almost done. putting a Frogeye harness in a Mk2 shell was interesting, mostly the wires are a different colour and the connectors are different. I discovered Home Depot stocks and easy-splice connector which doesn't require much effort, so rather than switch connectors I've just cannibalised the old harness where necessary.

Fitted the flasher today, and the alternator has finally gone in where it should be.

The seat belts were a disappointment. They don't fit the factory mounting holes, but luckily the PO drilled holes in the floor for racing seats and these will do nicely. The third point of the belt will have to be on the rear deck, but the double-skinned part next to the top hooks is ideal for the job. some drilling required.

All in all, we're on schedule, maybe a little ahead.
