Smoke Still In The New Wires.....At Least For Now

British car folks talk about wiring problems as "letting the smoke out of the wires" when you have excessive current flow due to wiring defects.  Well, this MGA has entirely new wiring now and we are pleased to report that none of the smoke has come out of the wires......yet!

Here's a picture of the new dash with mostly older gauges and switches installed in it:

This is a "new" used dash because the original one had an extra hole for an ammeter which is not stock.  Ray prepped and painted this dash, looks very nice.  He also re-covered the black dash pad above it.

Here's some views of the lights on:

Turn signals don't work yet, complex system with large relay involved.  We found the steering column is actually adjustable although it's rusted up pretty bad, this needs some attention.  Then we have all the pieces to install a good used windshield into the original frame.  From there our list should get pretty short, unless driving the car surfaces some new issues.  Hopefully next blog post will include views of the car on the road!
