right lads, another update. turn the clock back to 2008 when we got the red one and you will remember when I put the replacement loom in. sadly I have had to pull the plug on the gta now, so the car isn't a working one anymore. As today I have been removing the full car electricals. so that I can transfer them to the new metro. As that one is a carb and has the old metro electricals in.
the gta guttard of its wiring!

the new metro dash as it is at the min, ready to be removed and the electricals dropped in.

un plugged the choke cable system, and put the rubber grommet that the gta had there, ( wonder if the lead will go on the vvc for the crack)

but before I went any further, I took some time in tidying the gta loom and getting rid of some redundant wires, also it was a birds nest in some areas, so I have gave it a right old tidy up and its much, much better! also blanked off the radio speaker system and removed my mgf gauge wire I installed in round one, years ago. I don't need it as I have another gauge loom anyway for that off the car.
The old loom removed from the car

now after seeing how this one was, I now know what I did wrong with the gta, so I have put the loom back in exactly how it should be!

so I stopped with the photos of progress, as I wanted to really crack on, I will show you all how far I have got!
