so after looking at the mess, we had left, i decide a brew was in order, while we made are plan of attack!!!

me being me i decided to go with the easy job first, mounting the fusebox.

next job was to mount/relocate the switches i would need for it to pass an MOT, altho it still has 6 months left, best start planing :D

So we made this in genus design...

next on the list was the clocks, both me and Mr Lawrence, spent about 10 minutes flaffing around trying to look for the Axesaw, i missed placed :oops: , still not turned up, so i went in the the garage and got a bigger one, for Mr Lawrence to axe the orginal mounting bracket for the clocks.
