Day 7

Today I thought it was time to start on the electrics. The whole loom of the car has got to come out so that I can strip it of bits I won't need any more, such as radio, fans and windscreen wipers ect. And I was a bit nervous to be honest, becuase it's a minefield.

To my suprise I actually managed to get most of it out in one go. All that's left is the bit which runs underneath the car from the battery to the alternator and starter motor. That bit is hanging on with one or two clips which I can't quite reach because there's some engine in the way. I think I might have to remove the alternator for that bit, but it shouldn't be too bad and that particular bunch of wiring doesn't require any modification.

The rest of it was labelled up, photographed and yanked out. If you've ever wondered what all the wires in a car look lie, it's something like this:

It was a hard days work and my hands suffered greatly, but it's done now :) All I have to do is seperate everything and put it back together :) Joy
