    I thought i had enough pics lol, everyone in melbourne is sick of seeing it i think, I was told that each show you need to run different wheels etc, because people have seen it before.

    I dont know how many people out there have cars they show who run different sets of wheels each time, besides, there is more to modding cars then sitting it low and putting a set of wheels on it, seems to be the Melbourne culture

    Used a Busbar for the power and a fuse block for the fuses, it is really not that hard. Have a good look at the pics i put up

    I don't have any pics other than this real crap one


    Basically I trimmed the top part of the battery box that the fuses lock in to so I was left with just a rectangle. The made a little bracket to bolt in in this position. Ill grab some pics for you Friday night if it helps. I then ran a power cable to the top of the fuses so I had current.

    As they say pics say a 1000 words so ill get some for you.

    As they say every cloud has a silver lining
    hopefully ill get some uninterrupted time in the garage over the weekend so I can tackle most of the wiring then I can start sorting the engine ready to put the car back together.
    Look forward to some more updates from you. Cars looking super shiny

    Fair enough. Was just at my garage doing the wiring when I was called to come home so the misses could take her sister to hospital. My issue is time as I have the garage and family car
