Today I was going to trial fit the CF door cards in the front and whack the windy windows in. So, took the door card off and started to strip the door loom, leaving only the central locking. ONce I'd started though, I couldnt stop and stripped both door looms, radio loom, speaker loom etc from the main car loom.
This was easy, just time consuming! ONly got a few pics as I was on a role and TBH, theres not much to see! Tommorrow I'll get the cards in so they'll be some progress worth looking at.
One caliper is finished too, so I'm going to fit my Brembo decals (Massive thanks to 197Gaz for these!) and get some shots of that. The other one has nearly been thrown through the window but its nearly done now, they need SO many coats its unreal.
Dash loom when I started....
The ISO wiring which was being removed...
Door loom wiring removed form the plug, the green and white wires are the central locking feeds.....
Chopping stuff....
This is one half of the door loom wiring, I've filled a carrier bag nearly now but I'll weigh it all tommorrow when it's all comepletely out!
Basically now the whole radio loom, steering wheel stalk, display wiring, window loom, mirror loom, airbag loom, and speaker/tweeter wiring is gone. The clock will still work though

Yeah, it runs like a ho so I was rubbing it down, trying again etc. Then, just let it run and it drys mint, lol.

Hammerite smooth (aerosol type), its super thin so you just have to give them dust coats. It runs so easy, just let it run and keep giving it coats and the runs dissapear. No idea why, I'm not arguing with science
Heat gun on drying paint isnt the wisest idea IMO. But at least it got there in the end 
Hammerite is a b**ch too...takes like 3 days to technically fully dry apparently?
Once you're ECU's back you need to drive it to Repton and pimp that sunroof TBH.
(Way down on list....I know)

So, started the day by finishing removing the other side door loom form the main car loom. Got all this out and cleaned the door skin up so I could start removing the electris window mechanisms.
This is how much I've removed, just from the doors and stereo looms!
The weight of it...
Not bad really, combine this with the weight saved on doorcards and electric windows too, should be a decent difference.
Tooke the motors out and got my manual set-up out. Just to note, if anyone else does this, the mechanisms aren't universal, left hand side only fits left and right only fits right. I found this out after I'd pissed around with the window runner and the fiddly little clip. The end with the prong on goes towards the top of the door....
The weight of one manual window mech....
And an electric one...
So a Kg saved by swapping the mechanisms alone!
Anyway, put the manual ones in and after snapping 2 of the clips, got the nack of it
Boths sides in...
Went and got a door card and offered it up, just because Im a style *****, lol. I'm not fitting them until the inside is painted for obvious reasons!
Then got back on to tidying the mess I'd made of the loom! Used some 32mm Kopex and black tape on the bits that would fit behind it, the smaller bits I'm waiting for some 10mm stuff to use. Anything bigger I've taped because its a b*****d trying to slice and spread Kopex, let alone the 50mm diameter stuff.
Cut some bracing out that isn't needed too, lol
From-
To-
A few pics of the unfinished calipers too, now they've had plenty of coats, I'm going to let them dry over the next few days, the flat them back, stick the decals on and laqcuer them!
Next weekend will be the next chance I get to work on it but my spacers and pads will be here by then so hopefully get the brakes on.
Cheers for looking.

Jord, I bought these from FMP. He had them made by a guy he knows so they are lighter and better fitting than the performance trim ones he initially bought. try performance trim but dunno what the fits like!
PMSL, too true Gray. Resale value-£2. Mint!
