Richmond VA 1960 Bugeye Bringing Miss Eva back to life.

[hcallaway]

Electrical Wiring has started.

I am going to use a small eBay wiring harness for rat rods etc...
I have the wires separated, numbered and laid out for the different circuits.
Most importantly I have the name of a local who is a paid gun when all else fails.
I will try to do as much as possible and if I hit a dead end, I will bring him in.
Miss Eva needs a master cut off switch to start.
This created for a new small cheap tool. Now I can cut and crimp my own battery cables.

I think I have it sorted out and I am moving forward.

I finally got my slave cylinder tubing routed and connected. I need some clips and that will be behind me.

On line purchase as I polished my accelerator linkage and needed a new gas pedal. I am running a later year sprite assembly.

Wiring Continues

Headlights

Rear Lights

Front Turn Signals

The connectors AH originally used are not practical with my new wiring harness. I soldered the three connections on each light for a better connection.

License Plate Light Assembly
I did not paint my Plinth Body Color. Rear end needed some contrast.

Front End Lighting Wiring Complete

Installed some plugs on the headlights

I am going to order some split looms to tidy up the wires once I am pretty sure everything is in place.

lovely - such a neat installation (and orderly tools in the background) you're a robot aren't you?

The garage is a mess. I will have to post a picture of my electrical wiring tables. Every couple of days I have to pack up the tools and start the mess again.

(but how do we know you aren't still a robot pretending to mess up your garage so that we won't realize that robots are in our midst?)

I am a visual builder.

I have to have it sitting in front of me as I work.

I was able to clean up the rest of the garage early before the temperatures started rising.

Also changed out a fuel pump and ignition switch on the Jeep Gladiator.

She will fire but it is still not getting fuel.

I have lights on the front.

And lights in the rear.

Miss Eva added a new stable mate.

2001 Porsche Boxster

Triptronic Transmission

The Jeep Gladiator had to leave and join a friends car collection for me to pick up the Boxster.
I still have access to it, so maybe it is the best situation for someone who spent years building it.

You do realize having that other toy in the garage will delay you in getting the Bugeye done. Looking good, waiting to hear vroom, vroom noises soon. Me 2nd painter is supposed to have quote back to me early this week.
