It's very slowly coming along. The dash is only out to flock it and sort out what appears to be the biggest of wiring loom gremlins!
Which is exactly what I'm struggling with.
The starter sounds slow to turn over despite trying several batteries.
I've tried loOking online for a list of which coloured wires do what but no luck yet!

Make sure all your + and - connections are good each ends of the batter cables, on the starter etc. It sounds like it could be the starter itself.
