Now, back to the wiring...
 
This isn't what's left of the loom, it's all the bit's I didn't need mostly chopped from wires that were too long!
 

 
 
As I went along all the crimp connectors were removed and the joints soldered up before being wrapped in tape.. At least I know the loom won't pull apart now
 
Battery end of things.
 

 
 
This bit of the loom was a massive mess with lots of crimp connectors!
It looks way better now
 

 
 
The front end splits nicely into two, it will split nicely into three when the headlamp is wired in..
 

 
 
Speaking of the headlamp, these "not yet connected" wires go to the Quadzilla switch gear and are the very wires that give life to the lighting circuit.   And the horn  
 

 
 
Monday was spent turning this mess....
 

 
 
Into this non mess...... A day well spent
 

we've had a good few weeks of snow on and off. Here's a few pics for your delight

Nice picture of a frost !  When are you expecting the snow?

Awesome, thanks Chris 

More body filler than I could have imagined was used on the hood but looks pretty decent now 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My RJ-58 will be making an appearance, need to finish it first though 

love the attention to detail on the pedal!

We all have a "must build" project in mind, and this is mine..
 
Over the years I have restored WH's
Built things that go on them such as a snowplow and harrow...
Added a couple of extra wheels - The 6x6..
And even made a fast fun machine - Project Why Not..
 
Wheel-Vo is the silly/stupid one
 
As you all know I paid The Showman a visit the other day and came back with a car load of WH..  A 312-8 although with no engine and trans it's more like a 300-0
 

 
 
Here it is back in the workshop thrown in a rather neat pile
 

 

 

 

 
 
The plan?
 
The title should of given you a clue, I'm on the look-out for a cheap Volvo that will give up a 2.3 turbo engine, gearbox, rear axle and maybe a few other parts, then sell on the rest to get a few £££'s back..
Of course a standard WH chassis won't be suitable so I'm going to have to build one..
A lot of work ahead but I can/am collect parts while I'm finishing Project MadTrax..
 
There won't be any real updates for a while but I can keep you updated as to how the parts collecting is going..
 
And of course... Video's
 
 

First time in four years we've had snow.
 

 
  All gone now. Just a wet, slippy, soggy mess.

I think I've had more in the back of my car from Ian's

Had a victim visitor to the shed today who popped in for coffee and collect a few parts.
After the coffee and a chat we loaded his car with more than I expected to get in it  and I was happy to empty his pocket.
I think Ian was pleased with all the bits and left with his car much lower at the backend
Here's some photos 

Happy birthday doug!

Well we had to give it a go, remember where we put all the kit ,fit it and have a play
