ok I did a few bits today, nothing much I can do under the bonnet yet, due to the hose failure, and I think my battery cut off system has bit the dust.
Anyway moving on to some electrical stuff,
One of the lads from the metro owners club, who lives in malta, he is selling on a few things now. He sorted me out a few little things in the past. The coin holders for the dash and a few little bits of trim for the gta.
One of his MG metros he broke had this little feature, which I think may have been a Unipart extra. Its not common at all, but its a footwell lamp,

anyway i sorted him out my Red seat belts that i had, For free last year to go on his MG metro. He returned the favour and sent me this little feature for my car.
So today i had a wire in session.

All i have to do now is solder in the wires to the relevant wires and we are away!
Also i got a free little mod to!
with me working as an operator making car trims, we sometimes come across odds and sods left over, which we can either bin or take home,
I managed to get my hand on these

now seeing that my car doesn't have a radio, i used these and removed the rubber wiring protector tubes.

why have something in place, when its not needed eh, still got a few daft ideas and upgrades.
mainly electrical work. ( front end and tidying up) I was toying with the idea of better battery cut off system.
But its where to mount it and the switch system.
