Looking good Bitzer!  What are all of the relays for?  Fan and headlamps I imagine, but what about all the others?  Also...what is the little electrical box you made with the clear plastic cover going to be used for?

Cheers fella. The bank of relays are just in case required! I will use one for the air horns, I may run an independant musical set too but they'll be well hidden!! Always handy to have a spare.
The little plastic box will be used for all the ignition lives. Feed in one side and six outputs that are individually fused. I'm running two of these boxes to keep resistance etc low and save overloading circuits. There's also a big 40amp in line prior to these too! Better safe than sorry 😃

Found some more uses for the relays!!
The mega alarm is going in. It's a K9 system with all sorts of programmable channels. The doors "pop" lovely with just the rubbers (new) so not installed the sprung assisters yet.

Another step closer

Cheers Chris, you know that's not my strong point!
Started on returning the dash pad. The original covering had seen better days so I decided to strip it down to the metal skeleton and have a nose. P O had fillered over rust and holes and needless to say both ends have rotted out. I'm going to try and re-fab it and cover it with foam then vynal. The cost of having a complete new unit over is not worth considering yet. Anyone attempting to separate the foam from the metal be careful. I have a 2 inch scar to show what happens when things slip!!
On the plus side, hoping to polish the stainless fan shroud and have it installed tomorrow and the rest of the wiring finished. I would cross my fingers but it hurts haha

The cut on the hand should be an example to others! Don't rush, take time, there's always tomorrow. Maybe I should should pop pics in of all the welding burns haha

Last few bits to do before it has the official Transport Test so I can use it for real!

It's you guys on the wrong side?

I'm having it transported to the test station and leaving it there. That way they will have time to give it a pre-inspection and maybe help me before it fails (if it would)

Hoping to get another day on it over the weekend, the weather is pants here!!
