Loving your work, everyone! We'll see if we can clean the exterior paint up in the next couple of weeks bud!
Unless that is done already?!

Thanks for all the comments guys......
tried drilling out the spot welds but they came out the hole way. After a failed atempt with filler (not used it before) we decided that im gonna bung the holes with rivets. You can see the wheel through the hole and i dont want any s**t splashing in.

Not sure mate, would like to know myself. From my experiance with fords the clutch arms on the diesel models had huge weights on them but the cables were the same. maybe Reno do it the other way around and have a standard arm with weighted cable.............

I wouldn't paint it myself, but it looks lovely and clean back there - lack of brackets.

Thanks for all the comments people.
MOT now booked for Thursday so i better get a move on......
Still waiting for a throttle cable after my failed attempt to re-cable the original. The outer cable is rusted through and snapped so got one ordered up. Apparently there was only 1 left in the country!

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
Right, managed to do a bit this morning before work (on late shifts this weekend) Getting started is always a problem, can never decide what to do first. When i got going tho i got quite abit done.
Wiring is the main task at the mo, getting the tailgate and near side rear wiring sorted and connecting up my new heater panel switches. I connected up the battery temporarily to check all sytems were go and had the old girl running for a little while. Trying to decide where to put the negative battery cable but ive made up a new cable today and will finailise it tomorrow.
Finished all the rear wiring looms now, all tied back nice and neat.
Ive fitted a solenoid to release the boot. Not a very track spec thing to do i know but i did it for several reasons. A. the boot lock is f**ked and would cost more than this solenoid cost me to sort out. B. it gives me a use for one of the new dash buttons. C.
Much more convienient as the boot can be opened without the key and when shut is locked.
I wired it into the existing tailgate loom (using the wiper wiring) then gave it an earth by the back light and a feed at the fuse box end by tracing the wiper loom back and isolating the wire. Connected it to the new dash switch and gave it a ignition feed. Job done, cost £4
Late shift again tomorrow, meaning in the morning i should be able to finalise the battery wiring, fit the battery cut off switch, finish tidying the dash wiring and refit the lower dash.
