well its been a while, had a week of having squits and sickness bug to having a bad cough and cold, nearly passed now so thought id get some stuff done in the garage, with all my ailments and my disco going on the bling i feel iv abandoned bonni,

 

first job was to undo all the bolts in the roof to get it to fit better, plus there were 2 bolts that i couldnt get in, all sorted now, also finished putting all the sound proofing in,

tidied up all the wires with cable ties and then clipped them all down, all nice and neat now.

 

decided to try make a plate for the dash where there was a hole for the radio, to say stuff like this isnt my cup of tea i think i did quite well, could probably do better so might give it another go one day,

I see. Well there is no rear wiper and I doubt there ever was. But I could be. And quite usually am. Wrong. Anyway that's now covered up so nothing is going in there. Edited by viking

This, all you need is a clock and a switch (or drill a bigger hole for a cigarette lighter)

That looks like just the job. I'd have that if I can find one. I see that ended last year.

As I have no rear wiper there would be no point in a wiper switch. Sure I could put a fag lighter in. And find a clock.

 

Oh good. Something else hard to find for me to hunt for.

That's why I never use craddocks. No pictures.

I'll ring them and make sure it's what I need.

 

Thanks
