Cubby box is in, tightenedbthe thread rivets a little bit better, now you can lift the car on the box! Looks nice, if you ask me!

Don't give other parts to replace!!!! 😉 Just finished to put the cubby box in, looks good with the matching front seats, well it will once I removed all the bits and pieces on the seats! Not bad for a lunch break. Dashboard removal next, after I'm done with my day job later today.

And never be your own customer!

Ah, the yet unwritten future! Did I think about that the last days, or rather weeks! Anyway, the plans changed, mainly due to budget and credit card limits. First, things that didn't change: She will be used for a one week trip to Corsica to explore the back country in October and then for two...

Funny thing, those old Land Rovers, aren't they? Just checked the new wiring loom, did a quick comparison against the THREE (!) diagrams in my repair manual, which is so badly printed most of the color codes are unreadable. Need to check against the forth one in the manual that came with car...

The wiring loom and new speedo cable have been delivered today! So guess what I am going to do the next days! With some luck, I might even get her through TÜV / MOT by months end before our summer vacation! Wish me luck!

This is the way!

Last thing to do before stripping the dashboard: Cubby box. Need to buy a 10mm metal drill for that. But first, a beer!

So, update on the tuning front, preliminary of course: Mocal oil cooler, Mocal thermostat, Goodridge braided hoses -> only need to be delivered and installed (the old one is leaking) Tubular manifolds -> the original ones aren't tight anymore Kent valve springs -> ordered and need to be...

Good luck with the air condition! I just used my lunch break to fix the rear bumper cover. The new exhaust gets hot, and it almost melted the olastic cover, enough for it to come loose at the clued / pressed in metal bits that screw on to the bracket on the bumper. Used some strong two...

I proposed that! She's working in another country, infortunately, so I'd have to throw in a plane ticket... I think I'll simply start by removing the dashboard and study how the harness is routed, and take it from there!

Yesterday, I had chat with a collegue of mine about harnesses and how to replace them. She said, easy, if you have the old one, strip everything, see where it is routed, connect as specified. Take pictures and mark connections. Easy for her to say, she did helicopter harnesses first in final...

No choice, without hazard lights, parking lights that always on on the right front and side indicators not worker neither not a chance to pass MOT / TÜV... And given the state of the Harnesses as is, no way to fix it without building basically a new one by hand.

Nevermind, just got of the phone with Auto Sparks, the RHD harness is overall shorter. So I just ordered the last LHD drive one they had. My credit card hates me, the credit card company loves me.

Follow up question, could someone be so kind and share photo of a RHD dashboard and steering column? Because if washer, indicator, light and so on switches are mirrored as well, a RHD harness won't cut it. Instruments would require some lengthening / shortening of cables (doable), headlights and...
