The first job I should be doing is under sealing the body - however this really needs to be sprayed outside and it's been too cold/dark/wet recently.
Instead I have been busying myself by starting on the wiring diagrams - although I am using the GD standard looms there need to be a number of additions: Accusump, EFC, Oil Pressure Safety Switch for fuel pump, Oil Temperature Sender, Clutch / Neutral / Crank Interlock. Here's the first attempt:
I've also been planning the remaining stages of the build. These have been based on the experiences of other builders:
STAGE 5:
Fit pedal box, heater box, brake and clutch connections, fluid reservoirs, washer bottle and main body wiring loom.
Fit body to chassis, make final hydraulic connections, fill-bleed and check all hydraulic systems!!
STAGE 6:
Fit lighting, windscreen, steering column & support, wiper spindles, demist & escutcheons, wiper motor & mechanism.
STAGE 7:
Fit carpets and leather trim to tunnel, bulkhead, scuttle, floor and doors.
STAGE 8:
Fit handbrake, prep and trim dashboard. Fit instruments and switches. Fit dash loom and install dash. Fit ash bottom and heater vents.
STAGE 9:
Fit remaining escutcheon plates, steering wheel, fuel tank, boot carpeting, fuel cap and filler hose, roll bars, seat belts & anchor plates, seats and runners, brightwork.
STAGE 10:
Fit wheels and SVA test!!!
I'm not planning on getting the bits for Stage 5 until the middle of Feb, but in the meantime there is plenty to do:
Underseal body, fit clutch slave cylinder remote bleed, fit tunnel sheet, fit starter motor heat shield, fabricate and fit revised engine loom, re-locate Accusump pressure gauge and fit the exhaust back boxes
