Saturday morning the wife wanted to go shopping
Wasn't all bad, I got to help her by some new lacy underwear
Sat afternoon was spent ripping the dash of the Isuzu apart ...
Mounted the switches for the Spots, Day lights, Glow timer override, Air Horns, wired up the radio, remade a bunch of connections that were just twisted and taped.
Sunday afternoon was spent wiring up the fuses and relays and testing.
I just have to work out how to get the cigarette lighter socket out so I can fit the last 2 switches.
