rusty old nail to sow's ear

[sparkywig]

As the window is still out, I thought I'd better get on with the inside.
Spent all afternoon scraping and rubbing back white gloss. :evil:
All masked up and etch primed.

A coat of hi-build primer and then top coat.
Had a bit of a reaction above the window opening, but I can sort that out after the window's back in.

Glass in Friday hopefully, depending on the weather.

Managed to split the rubber re-fitting the glass, so gave up and decided to rub down the temporary trim panels and make them permanent.

Time for a cider or two now while I wait for the varnish to dry.....

Spot the deliberate mistake.

Managed to get the n/s rear window back in tonight, with assistance from a neighbour.

Spare 20 minutes and another job done.

Started to sort out the mains and 12V stuff, but discovered the 12V fusebox doesn't have a common terminal. :roll:

 

[creationblue]

Wig, mine was the same, I used 5 x 2.5 din rail terminals on a rail and commoned them up with a busbar, then took a supply of each to the relevent fuse then off to the circuit, whilst i was at it I used an earth terminal to keep everything tidy...........give me a should if you need any

 

[sparkywig]

I bodged it with a bit of copper and a soldering iron...... :lol:

Only "temporary" until I get the Westy bed off Ozzie, ARE YOU LISTENING OUT THERE OZZIEDOG? and fit the Zig unit. :lol:

This evening's efforts....

No, the pic is not the wrong way up. Due to lack of clearance under bench seat the enclosure is mounted horizontally. :lol:
