Random notes on the restauration of Morgans, MGBs and Minis
After two and a half intense days work on the Morgan I am back where I started two months ago. What on earth let me think that I could pull the wiring, add relays and have everything done in three weeks? I don't know.... Back in June I made an appointment at Victor Günter Motorsport...

The weekend started with a bit of research on LED lights for classic cars. A while ago I switched to LED headlights on the Mini. First, I had the Apollo bulbs from Steveston Motor Company.

The garage needs a good clean up next week before I will start with anything else. Well, the... Continue Reading →

No, this is not about some form of data transmission. And no, I am not going to remove cables from the MGB wiring harness. But I as I started working on the loom I realized I don't have a few cables colours I need in stock. As I still must wait for the Mini40 parts,... Continue Reading →
Mildred wiring diagram Version 0.9 Puuh - planning the future wiring took much longer than expected. And at first glance the new plan might look wild. And it is not the final.
