Obviously having fun. Try to keep it as standard as possible going into wiring can upset earth tracking that can be hard to trace.

 

I trimmed the front arch/beam/whatever. Previously it was a hot mess of red oxide, bits of foam and old headliner.

At some time, I'll do the rear one to match. Ryan gave me some of the trim material so it matches the rest of the van.

Only mostly ? Glad you got it sorted.

 

Rock'n'roll

 

Today's update. Silver ring been keeping up and I should be fitting it all back tomorrow. Maybe just leave it in situ to check before I tackle the instrument cluster retaining clips.

 

Any idea what time it is?

8:32, actually

 

nah...8:37 to be precise

 

"At the third stroke..."
