Novasportc550 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 This weekends progress, fitted the heater box to make sure it fits, then started sorting the wiring out, had to move a few wire to suit the c20xe engine. I have also sorted out the engine loom too. Just to make a bracket to mount the coil pack to the bulk head and the main lead to the starter and I think that's the wiring all sorted I hope. Started into the bonnet too.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
