The Battery

There simply isn't enough room in the engine bay
for the battery, it has to go in the boot.
I wasn't sure how we were going to run the cable
from the boot to the starter motor.
I didn't want it inside the car, and under the floor
there's a lot going on, I kept putting it off so I
could get my head around it.
Now that its done I don't know what all the fuss
was about.

The Interior

Now that the wiring is almost finished I started on the interior today.
Fitted the retractable seat belts and put the back seat back in,
as far as I know its still in original condition, not bad for 55 years
the carpet is half in, the front is not finished there's a bit more to
do shaping it over the transmission hump. Time ran out today
so I'll have to finish it next weekend

New Blog

Here is the new blog address for my on-going project
(accidentally deleted the old one)

Still working on the wiring. Connected the shifter
the thermo fan and the gauges
The engine bay is finished so today we put the
grill back in. I haven't touched it since I took it
out I want to keep that old look.
And then when you open the bonnet . . . . .
