Light at the end of the tunnel.......

Anybody ever had any experience of 6v cars that have been converted to 12v without the addition of fuses or other safety features like insulation etc? Neither had I until this weekend!
So, where to start? Simple, I started by ripping out the entire origimal front half of the loom. Okay, so I've got a replacement loom from a late right hand drive 2cv saloon, but this is an old left hand drive van, it can't be dificult can it?
Wrong! It was a pig of a job, how many wires did Citroen cram into that loom? Certainly too many! After about 8 hours of multi-meter and wiring diagram action, we have lights and wipers etc.
In the meantime this weekend, the engine has gone in, so has the windscreen and the front light bar.
It's coming together quite quickly now but still seemingly not as quick as Scally Rally is coming around. Less than 8 weeks left now.................
