Week 2 of the build

 This week its been all about the wiring. The Fiesta has basically two looms. One in the engine bay and another in the cabin with an extra bit for the tailgate. The mission has been to extract all of it and lay it out in the hull.

The loom in the front comes out  easily enough and here it is on the workshop floor;

The black box is the main fusebox and the yellow stuff is the extended  ECU and engine loom. Both the yellow bundles were fed into lengths of split conduit.

 The interior loom came out in one bit as well. It was held onto the car with loads of clips and prising them off was a bit of a pfaff. But again, here is a picture of it on the workshop floor;

And this is how it roughly needs to layout in the hull! There is another fusebox and a control unit in amongst that lot as well.

Here are the looms laid out roughly where they need to be. The final routing of the cables will depends on what else goes where!

 

The next jobs with the wiring are to strip out all the airbag stuff, extend the radiator fan cable, extend the fuel tank cable and fix the relay so the radiator fan is always on with the engine running.
