Cheers guys. Finished putting it back together this eve and took it for a drive. Had to pull over and take a pic whilst I was out, couldn't help myself



The camera flash exaggerates the whiteness of the wheels a bit she needs a good wash too, not been cleaned in a year or so

All in all I'm glad to be back in my lude, it feels like it's coming together. Next up is lowering and a service methinks

I finished off the wiring at the weekend.

There is a 2 wire loom between the pole and the interior accessory loom, this didn't come with mine as it'd be a nightmare to remove from the donor car and is an easy one to make. So here is the final piece of the electrical puzzle:



I found the easiest place to route the wiring through was the grommet under the fuse box, in the above pic I had already drilled the grommet and put it on my wiring. Here's the location in the bulkhead where it came from, could be handy for anyone trying to run wires from the engine bay to the cabin:



Lately I've been practicing my soldering Here is where I joined the pigtail of the OEM bumper pole connecting loom to my home made special - a few weeks ago this probably would have been a kilo blob of solder with the wires at 90 degrees I even pushed the boat out and used a bit of heat shrink...



All wrapped up:



I then cable tied everything out of sight - it was a good chance to tidy up my horn wiring as well which whilst being functional, looked like multi-coloured spaghetti. I think it might have been the first time in my life that I actually used cable ties for securing cables. On a cable tidying high I then went into the driver's footwell and tidied up the loose wiring in there as it had been catching my feet lately

With that all done it was time to push the button






I'm so content now

As if things couldn't get any better, I opened the coin tray and found this:



That was a few coffees paid for at work

All in all a productive weekend

Do they light up or just green at the top?

[jjmartin349571]

It lights up with the sidelights, although the reflective lens catches the light quite well during the daytime.

Hmm wonder if one from a delsol would fit

[jjmartin349571]

I imagine the fitment is mainly down to the bracket, Have you got a pic of the mast unit? Maybe a bracket could be made up.

No

Was on a friends JDM delsol, wiring still in the car I believe, might look into it.

Someone has looked into that before on here. From memory they don't, cause the sol has a much deeper bumper, so the unit is more bulky downwards and doesn't fit in the space in a lude one...
