Not sure if i have the time to get it done and not sure if i'll be home from work at a decent time to do it but i'm gonna give it a bloody good go though..

Rain or shine my lights will shine.. Finges crossed.

Cheers for the offer dude but theres not a lot 2 peeps can do really, i should be fine bud

It's not looking good at the mo..

Got home from work at 5:30 went and got 30m of wire then ripped the old front to back section of loom out.. Cut the new wire's to length and started wrapping it altogether then 7:30 i was called out to Coventry and then got home at 1:30 .... But Frizz finished wrapping the new loom while i was working..
Just don't see it being done in time guys i reckon theres a GOOD 8 hours work left

Just to say if you needed a garage due to the crappy wetaher to work in just give us a shout! Its got electric (and a constant supply of tea and coffee).

Cheers for the offer but the rain won't stop getting it done (i'll work in rain snow hail anything to get a dub done you'll see what i mean oneday ) , plus i can drive it at the mo cos it has no electrics..

Here you go one front to back loom out..



One new one built and ready to go back in..

The front to back harness is in and i've built and fitted the rear harness as well so just the front to do which is a P-IIII-GGGG of a job to do

The front loom is out just started building the one.

cool not much to the looms looking at the pic

looking good dude i take it your on schedual

Nice one Rich, yer doing a grand job! Looks much better than the old loom!

Looking good mate, be careful though, someone might complain if you lay wiring looms on your drive, it might be classed as working on your car!!

Well i got the loom all finished JUST in time for Vanwest so i'm happy but while doing the loom i realised the front tyres were a tad sha3ged so just had to order another pair of 165/50's...

With the mass of rain on the sunday we got wetter drive home then we did taking the tent down due to the seals for the wiper shafts being missing and the Safaris leaking as they do. So i've had a word with them and think i sorted the leaks out new seals for the shafts and sealed the seals on the safaris so fingers crossed we don't have any more rain..

Your tyres are more than a tad shaged

Glad to hear i wasnt the only one soaked being in the car

Thought it's about time i got started on the sounds and insides..

Had to cut parts of the bed frame off to get the box in but it's nearly in right now...
There will be a pair of 6x9's both sides of the box as well as a pair up front..



BUT while making a few alterations to the box i slipped and cracked both sub in the shed

i did the a simular thing like that. when i was screwing the sub in, i sliped, an shoved it strieght through the outer rubber part! ....... i wasn't best pleased!

Yeah pi$$ed off big time i bought them a few years ago and had them about 6 cars they sounded great but probably not anymore

Far from it guys ... I had a tea towel mopping up my dash & also had to towel down the rear area under my rubber mat when I got home as the duct tape along the 'bullet holes' just didn't cut the mustard in that torrential rain Friday & Sunday

My brakes seized on because of the rain, went to drive off on tuesday and it wouldnt budge, had to get my dad to tow me 'back' whilst 2 of us pushed and I floored it, then they released, I'm sure it was the rain that got in there and binded them on.

My brakes seize up but thats becuase i don't use them very often

Should have some sounds pumping for next weekend when we go to the Chav fest (newquay)

I can vouch for that once all the way to vanwest i saw your break lights

The Sony Xplod 12" subs x2, sony xplod amp, and sony xplod 6x9's x4 are all in and working and to be honset doesn't sound to bad for a pair of cracked subs...

You want pics do you .... vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv






























Tuff you aren't getting any

It's all being pulled out tomorrow to be carpeted and hidden so you can't see it Well apart from abit of the headunit
