Well hello - been a while and you may well be asking 'Where's your latest update what have you been doing all summer?' and that would be an excellent question.
Well apart from starting a new job, painting the extterior to the house, catchiing up on odd DIY jobs there is nothing more depressing than a half built car and looking out at beautiful summer driving days lost. With the best will in the world this build was never going to be done before Spring 2014 so I don't feel too bad and some progress has been made.
So as the main image would suggest I am well into modifying the Mazda loom.Firstly I failed to follow the 6 P's principle and cut 2 beautiful holes in the scuttle, and then decided to re route the wiring through the firewall - which turned out to be a much neater option, but leaves me with some patchwork repairs or to buy a new scuttle 
.
Still as the images suggest I think I have done a pretty tidy job....

And this will make ths scuttle area much tidier particularly as the battery will be hidden away behind the radiator.
So where is the airbox going then? Well I have made up an new air intake with cone filter.

Which now means I will have to re rouite the cooling system - but this was on the cards anyway.
Sump was sent away for modification to a local engineering firm - nice job and will add detail to blog next time.
So next update should have a video of first start - hopefully so don't hold your breath.
Take Care
