Looking good  My Baker GrpN mounts came today so just in the process of fitting them. The wiring is the fun part, if you need any pin positions for re-wiring it let me know as mine is fully running now with my homemade loom.

The wiring is the worst part!!! It alright for you! Does the BSI act like a relay in some cases? I notice when i trace the wires that the inicators etc all go in there?

Yeah BSI is a pain in the tits tbh. It does things like hazards, indicators, wipers. I think in a rally car you are best ditching the original loom as there is so much crap in there you don't need. Once it's out it isn't to hard making a new loom, if you work through it in stages and do a circuit at a time it's less daunting.

Yes that is what the plan is.
I was going to trace the original wires from lights etc and where they go into the BSI etc then trace where they go from there. Then I will modify so that they don't go through the BSI.
Is this a good idea or did you just start from scratch? How did you find what the wires from the stalk controls for the light/ indicators did?
Could you possibly send me what you ordered from the electrical suppliers as I presume that I will be ordering something similar?
Cheers

The stalk switches are reasonably easy to sort out.... find the live feed to the switch and it all falls into place... a poweer probe from Snap On is very useful for the loom work because you can liven up a circuit and the probe has a built in trip for mistakes
I started from scratch.... it was easier than I thought and you can lose all the earth points that the french use and run in a common chassis earth. You are right to seperate the cabin loom and find the rear light wiring... you will junk a big heap of useless wiring that way.

Thanks for the advice. I think my mate has one of those power probes. I will try and steal it next week to do the wiring then

Its better wiring from scratch. And I think you have to go preplexed stalks.

Quick update. I intended to post these a while back as the car has moved on again since these pics.
Seat mount positions finally sorted and drilled. Kevlar tank guard fitted. Proflex suspension fitted all round. Lexan windows installed. Brake lines in. Engine timing belt changed.
Got the gearbox back with the quaife gearkit fitted, new 4.9 cwp and tranx diff. Now installed on the engine with helix paddle clutch
Still working on the wiring loom which is a pain in the a$$ i hate electrics.
Waiting for the Throttle bodies to arrive now and then i can start on the engine loom with the emerald ecu system which arrived just before xmas. Thank you santa

I got the gear bits with the car but i think the gearkit is 1600 then its about 650 for the tran x diff, The lad that built it all up for me said its a cracking kit so we will see when it goes how good it really is

I havent done the tailgate mate as you need to thermofom the shape of the glass in order to fit it. I just used the standard glass tailgate with the film
