Thanks Pinto-Pete.
Plenty of nice cars there. They were expecting a few more but the clouds must have kept them from breaking their attendees record.

Did a bit more today, wired up the headlights and put in some new halogen globes. Used this wiring diagram which uses relays to provide full power to the lights. Got the new headlights and H4 globes from Ringwood Auto Parts, nrap is their username on ebay, they are great to deal with, and cheap

Just installed a set of Custom Mustangs Oz spec LED tail lights. bloody rippers, Had a few teething problems getting them to work, turned out to be mainly "operator error" They are a huge improvement on the original tail lights

Fuckk fuck fuckity fuck, Installed the new moulded carpet, rear section first, fucked if I know how I did it but after I cut the hole for the floor mounted handbrake and trimmed it all up I realised that I had installed it around the wrong way, well I then turned the carpet around and guess what, it is rooted, fucking big hole in middle. Cant believe I just stuffed a new carpet, Ah well, got on the phone to Knox Carpets, new section here on Friday.

Sorry Tim but I just nearly wet myself laughing at that :rotfl:

Not so much at your misfortune but by the way you intro'd it and the fact that I couldn't count the number of times I have done something similar in my life...

One more job done, radiator and rest of cooling system all sorted now. The off to auto leccy on monday for a tidy up of wiring, then a windscreen and exhaust after that. Hopefully Mr Taxman provides enough funds for it all
