ok now i am p****d off just pulled the passenger side gaurd of for the first time and some idiot has snapped the aerial lead and joined it back together using electrical tape LOL
harness for the thermo's is now complete just need to drill 2 holes under the gaurd for earths for the fans temperature gauge sender and a little light that will be connected to the power out of the thermatic switch so i will know the fans are on. and yes i was hoping to get pictures but the corner of the garage where the wagon is stil to dark for even a camera with a flash and its too dark of a day time, so once again pictures are out of the question once again, i guess i cant complain to much at least i can work on the wagon on fairmont when its pissing down rain and i have access to water and power. thats my ramblings in this thread for tonight LOL cheers bear |
