minirotty Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 well, the previous loom pics may have looked scarey, look at this interior loom pmsl BTW, wifes at work and sons at sleep over and daughters upstairs whaching some vampire crap, that's how I have gotten away with doing this in my living room LOL To start with full loom with a fooked TOAD alarm fitted into it. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/minirotty1/2011-10-27181056.jpg Removed. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/minirotty1/2011-10-27190110.jpg All untangled. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/minirotty1/2011-10-27190041.jpg I can see in the van there is a rear loom coming forward that I already have plugged strate into the fuse box. But I don't think the van has correct fuel pump wiring and neither have I seen a fuel cut off switch in the van. I can get my head around all of the above a bit, but going to wate now for my mate Martin to come and help me plumb it back in. Also ordered a new battery tray last night because the van one is totaly fooked and leeking through the bulk head, me and Sam will weld that in asap too. Half the battle is just having the bottle to have a go at the wiring ya self lads lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minirotty Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Remember the first pics of the van inside, minging. Went out today to look at wiring in the back lights area and fuel pump etc and couldnt see much due to all the boarding in the van so I ripped it all out. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/minirotty1/2011-10-28141541.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/minirotty1/2011-10-28141556.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/minirotty1/2011-10-28141605.jpg Which then led to my OCD kicking in a cleaning the van inside :cry: http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/minirotty1/2011-10-28151540.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/minirotty1/2011-10-28151549.jpg Found some surfacxe rust in area, mainly where the luguage strap bars are on the floor, there are six of them. But all tiday and loaded back up now with convertion parts. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/minirotty1/2011-10-28151719.jpg Also been busy as had to remove front strut off of my ST complete with hub as hub bolt snapped last week when attempting to remove, going to my mates garage tomorrow to drill the bugger out! http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q311/minirotty1/2011-10-28172942.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHTOWER Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Is that a mk6 battery tray? When I was looking for them, no-one made them and all I could find were mk5, but got told they didn't fit... Couldn't see how, but took their word for it! Look a very good quality part!
