Nothing major but a few jobs to keep the car improvement going...Firstly my left front indicator had recently been deciding when it wanted to work.
This causes the other indicators to go into a 'disco effect mode' 
Initially I thought that it was an issue with the bulb, or a relay. I stripped everything down today and did some tests with the multimeter to find that the main terminal connector wasn't connecting as it should be. So a quick clean up, put everything back together and it was like new 
Following that I was onto the next job.
.. the tachometer wire from the ECU had come off during the course of some of my tests recently. I didn't take note of the correct pin at the time though... Doh! 
Today I located the right pin for it and had a fully functional tachometer again
My boot light has never worked.
In fact I didn't think that I even had one until I did some research on here. I did a few tests on it today and found out that it's getting all the voltage that it should although the earth cable has broken down resulting in it not completing the circuit. I've decided that I will be modifying and installing a new LED light in there in its place. Updates and purchases to follow on that front My washer jet splitter has been playing up.
Closer inspection on this showed that it had been fowling on the front strut brace. This had in turn also crushed the passenger side washer jet plastic. TFS very kindly sent me this for free:
I altered the route the of the jet cabling today, and installed the new splitter and the system was better than new
I then started to tackle a job which has been bugging me for some time.
I've got some surface rust in the frunk. This came around before I bought the car as a result of the old bonnet not sealing against the rubber properly resulting in this on both sides:
I set about cleaning everything up either side and then started to rub it all back:
I stupidly forgot to take a picture of everything rubbed back as far as it would go
as you can see its surface rust thoughI then put on three coats of Locite rust treatment
It's still going off at this point:
Tomorrow I intend to fill any small indentations, rub it all back again so that it's smooth and if I've got time paint it up to match back in with the car.
It should look tonnes when better whilst being preventing any rust ingress. It will take some work though. Eventually I intend to attack the bottom of the doors in the same way. There's only a small amount there but I want the entire car to be fully rust proof.I moved some of the new engine bay earthing around a bit.
I still want it on show although maybe not as obviously as it was before. I may move things around again, and I may go for a full wire tuck at some stage, but this is how it looks with the engine cover off at the moment:
I then checked the air pressure in all the tyres, pumped them up a bit and sent for the obligatory long country drive
