Few odds and ends jobs today. Salvaged the wiring for the speedo and coolant level sensor from a spare loom.

Not fitted the wiper linkage back in there yet, might need to do that then. Just at the motor?

I ended up swapping at the bulkhead connector, I cant remember the numbers but I’m sure I had to swap 2 or 3 just to get them working . I’ll see if I can find my notes. I didn’t realise until it rained lol

At least you weren’t driving around in the rain lol

 

ive found no10 pin in 12pin white connector to pin 5 on 6 pin green connector meantioned in my notes for wiper. I think there might have been one more. That was swapped on interior as I still had dash out at the time hope that helps a little 

[Tech1e]

Cheers mate. I’ll compare looms if needs be. 

[Tech1e]

A few more tasks checked off this morning.

 

Dropped the sub frame back down so I could fit the new tie rods on and fit the refurbished PAS pipes. Ready to fit back up when the downpipe and TIP are on.

 

Also rewired the wiper motor to the bulkhead connection point, 2 pins in different locations on the Ibiza wiring harness. Glad to say now working as it should.

 

Few tidying up bits underneath but pretty much there now.

Few more bits and bobs done. The most complete it’s been in a couple of years lol

[Tech1e]

Not sure if this is just sad or a bit OCD. 

 

T25 arch liner and undertray screws. No point putting things back together all rusty now is there?

 

Buff up on the wire wheel, prime and paint.

Thanks, the engine bay lets it down at the moment. That is phase 2, I plan when it's all settled in for a bit to get another engine and gearbox to rebuild/detail and then do a one for one swap.
