6th August 2000:

Doesn't look a great deal different to 3 weeks ago, but the loom is being trailed all round the car now and I am told it is about 80% complete. A few extra items need to be added as the donor 'grale didn't have electric door mirrors or electric rear windows - the Y10 Touring was available with these great rear windows, that hinge at one end and open electrically outwards about 1", as part of an option pack. Somewhere a Y10 Touring has donated its rear windows to a greater cause. Never seen any other car with them.

This looks much the same as the last page too, but there are less wires on the floor now, most of them actually go somewhere. Unseen in the pictures is that the battery has been relocated to the right rear corner of the boot - there was no space up front for it anymore. Another small help to the weight distribution.

I acquired a full set of Samco turbo and cooling hoses this week so hopefully they will go on the car in the not too distant future, Once the wiring is done, I'll only be an exhaust away from firing her up.

Won't be long now before she goes back to the paint shop for spraying the top coat!
