Yeah that was the plan but Skandix do instructions so the red wire is earth and black power but will double check as I don’t want any smoke being released from the wiring.

Got a bit done this weekend but didn’t take pics apart from the rear. Went for a good drive on Saturday, car is noticeably a good bit quieter. Fitting the overdrive should help a bit more too. Replaced the rubber bushes in the new upper wishbone and it was a struggle, the bush flange is bigger so you can’t really push directly on the sleeve and the sleeve OD was 0.6mm larger than the old rubber sleeve so ended up using a couple of the sleeves from the rubber bushes after spending too much time with the new ones.

Coat of paint for the new upper wishbones, modified a 240 retractable seat belt base for the 140 one and gave it a coat of paint. Retractable belts now fitted both sides, new side mirrors, new old grill although I have a NOS which I may fit at a later date. All ready for the engine and suspension work now. Speaking to a guy who has the same cam as mine and he said it made a significant improvement to the torque from the engine so that put a smile on my face as that is what I’m after.

That’s the 142 off to the classic car mechanic for a couple of weeks. Will be back welding the Amazon for a bit now. 👍

A wee side project which might get fitted in winter.

GT wheels are getting blasted and powder coated and in the meantime I have a new set of centres for the wheels. A nice bit of bling.
