I intended to start the daunting task of doing the wiring. I decided that the best approach would be to make a provisional mock-up of it on the garage floor. But then the floor was still covered in heaps of carpeting. So my attention diverted to finishing up all of the carpeting in the front hood/trunk/boot/frunk area. I am the master of procrastination.
Here is the result. It is probably a bit plush for a ‘racer’ but bare fibreglass looked a bit meh. I succesfully fought the urge to splatter the inside of the bonnet with leather diamonds.
While in there, I worked out where the battery cables and front loom will go. The battery itself was secured with the same stainless straps holding down the tank. The tank overflow was routed to the outside. I also made a pouch for the toolkit. The floor of the frunk got some of the same rubber mat as in the cabin. It’s pretty tough and adds some welcome sound deadening. Lastly I superglued the d-shaped weatherstripping into place. Yes superglue. I’m still amazed how well it worked!
There is floor space now. Let’s see what else I can find to do before starting the wiring!
