Preen's Mk1 GLD

**Preen59** · 24-04-2012, 01:29 AM

Driving lights are now wired up and high beam circuit is now relayed (like a baws).

Also, the reason it was blowing #6 fuse is that the reverse light switch (gearbox) has an internal short. No problem, i'll toss it and fit one of the other ones I have.

Head unit is shagged.

I'm considering running radio-less, as I have an OEM dash console.. Decisions, decisions.. Haha.

Toss the radio and fit some nice gauges.

Speaking of reverse switches, I have one that is failed but it is not the in gearbox type but a mechanical switch one. Are these still available? What should I search under.

No gauges needed. I'll just toss the radio and stick with the dash console.

You should be able to buy them from Tooleys. I'm going to get a couple if you want one?

Did this a fair while ago. Never posted pics..

Thanks, Dom. At least you're good for something.

Looking good!

What's the white Mk 1 in the background? Has a rare rear wiper...

It's an early '77. I got the hatch off ebay when I did the body. Hatch if for sale if you want it, as I'm going to go back to the original. Wiper works, parks etc.
