That's a bugger! Must be awful!? I wish you a speedy recovery mate.

With the loom out im unpicking the battery cables to run to the rear of the vehicle,the lighting loom to run a separate path and the wiper motor wiring cut and re joined to run up behind the dash board and to exit next to the wiper motor it self.
 


OK after a bit of hunting managed to get get hold of a couple of cabby electric windows and loom but no switches or control unit.for any of you out there in the same boat ive found out that early corrado switches work when used with the corrado control unit. :wink:

The late cabby and Corrado units are in fact the same module :-)

whilst doing the wiring a couple of of plugs were dodgy witch were in need of replacement ,i use some by a company called wourth ,I know there not factory but here,s what they look like if your thinking about doing something similar your  self

Just a couple of more shiny bits for the engine

The alternator looked a bit tired so im going to have it powder coated black to match the gear box witch changed to black a few weeks back so it picks out the chrome engine mounts a bit better.(I WISH I WOULD STOP CHANGING MY MIND HALF WAY THROUGH A BUILD)

Mate ur cars gonna look awesome wen it's dOne

Good work Al, and more importantly good to see you working on it again, hope your feeling better!

Cheers Chipster ,did you get that email address I PM,ed you?

Hi there Dave the old backs still not right mate,  i am walking about again but not yet at work,these pics were taken about 5 weeks ago i thought id just add them.

Yeah I got ur email buddy, Do they not have a site I could look at? Also what did u have to do just send them ur part or did they have parts already chromed?

Cheers dan

Hi there Dan sorry mate i had a German mate help me out with the parts and that was the address that was on the flyer with the parts,but to buy and ship the parts its really expensive,i would recommend locating a more local company,make sure they use a good process and triple chrome the parts or it will peel off quicker than the England team stayed in Euro 2012  :wink:
