Me been fussy I didn't want any of the body loom in the engine bay so decided to put it in under the dash and extend out the wires for the lights and things. The mess I had ended up with. ( ended up allot tidyer after I changed how it was ran but got no pictures of it)

Time to update this, got a small bit done over the past few weeks,

Finally got the handbreak finished after allot of trial and error, and thankfully you can't notice it when the centre console is in.
