I'm very proud of my wiring (guess who got a label maker for his birthday ?)

Obviously there's no real need to label these, I've spent quite enough time recently for them to be etched permenantly in my brain

It'll end up being the only kit car ever wired properly if you're not careful.

it's an odd one - the more time I'm spending on the wiring, the more particular I'm getting about it :(

I really do need to get it finished so I can move on to the brakes, then at least I should be able to have a cheeky drive up and down the street :)

Wiring is one thing I always do carefully too. It's something I never go back to unless it breaks so I want it simple to understand at that point.

Thankfully he is retired and is as keen as I am to see the thing finished :)

not too bad but I will re do it sometime in the future - it still works though and that is what matters :)
