Wiring the dash - actual progress

Starting with a picture, here's the new dash sitting almost in place. In a pun free entry, I'm currently working out wire by wire what goes where. The engine start switch is working fine now, being connected via an ignition switch tucked away out of sight. Having achieved that with a celebratory dance around the garden I pressed on to get the horn working then the screen washers too.
Having planned to get this all working so that an MOT can be acquired, I'm drawing a new wiring diagram as I go so that a complete new loom can be made off the car then installed at a later date. Doing it this way gives me a chance to modify the existing one to my satisfaction without having to be too concerned over the finish of it,
This second picture shows the mass of wires still hanging about behind.
The small grey block with orange fingers (one cocked ahoy) is a super little gadget called a Wago block. They come in varying types and are essentially modern Scotch locks that can be re-used. Very handy when roughly assembling something like a dash.
If it stays dry out, I'll get a bit more done during the coming week.
