Cheers mate. The leds already have the symbols and correct colours. I got mine off ebay, quite a few places sell the same ones but priced higher.

Still plodding away
Stack dash finished and 90% wired up, just fuel gauge left to sort. Made some small carbon fibre infill panels to fill the gaps.
Spa egt/boost gauge fitted, aem afr gauge fitted and wired into the adaptronic ecu. Reinstated the digi clock, as used to have a boost gauge fitted there.
Absolutely sick of wiring now

Epic job of rebuilding that mate, looks great. I would not know where to start on that!

Updates
Wiring routed and clipped to inner wing
Turbo oil feed with filter made up, and stack dash oil pressure sensor remotely mounted. Ordered a pair of alloy adjustable spanners after being messed about royally when trying to order a set of spanners to suit the an fittings. Came from china so prob got a dose of coronavirus:LOL:
Cut pipe with grinder, force fitting on tight as f**k pipe, slash hand on braid and repeat
Turbo bolted back on and fitted including modified oil return
Ecu relocated to glovebox for ease of access
Fired it up to check all is good, all sensors calibrated
Sent downpipe to camcoat for ceramic coating, turned out great. Check out the dents going outover, from when my old t28 decided to let its exhaust turbine go out of the exhaust

Downpipe fitted. The exhaust housing looks s**t, but keep thinking about gtx 2860 gen2 so dont want to spend money on this one. Might stick a bag on it
Oem downpipe to block bracket modified to fit the downpipe.
Started fitting the an10 breather setup. Braided hose cut and stab time once again :LOL: starting to look busy again now the fuel hoses and reg are fitted
Also started mocking up my top mount fuel swirl pot, plenty of room.
To do list not getting much smaller but progress is progress even if slow, all the custom bits take ages. Still hopefully see a fire up very soon.
Thanks for reading!

Thats the batt off the 250. The original one died, bought a brand new Yuasa with 5 year warranty which went flat in just over a week
done some checks and hardly any parasatic drain off the car, its sat for 3 month and not gone flat in the past. Charged it on recondition setting on my ctek charger, i reckon its fucked but just riding it out for a little bit before it goes back.Indeed mate, great hose yet fucking horrible to fit, cant grip it with gloves on so have to go all in

Updates
Booked a week off work to get the bulk of the work done, could count it as self isolation as ive been in the garage all week
Fitted my ching spec silicone coolant hoses, the quality used to be ok years ago (have ran them for years in blue) but would not buy them again, had to cut every one to fit, and they are quite a way off the shape of the original hoses now. They fit ok now i have chopped them about and will work, but overall cheap and crap fit.
Filled up with Renault type d and bled, i have modded the water pump and added a bleed screw to the top which works great.
Looks quite busy now. Really regret not getting the exhaust housing coated, but still fancy changing the turbo for a gtx.
Note the half finished breather setup. I have used torques fittings for all my fuel hoses and never had a problem.
As only oil breather i ordered cheaper ching spec fast flow fittings at a 3rd of the price. They turned up and were absolutely rubbish, check the egg shaped hole out!
Complained and money returned, and re ordered from torques. Always use torques or better for fittings that are under pressure, if they were fuel fittings that would be a fire waiting to happen.
Painted my 2ltr catch tank and fuel swirl pot with bedliner paint
Made a bracket out of 3mm steel to drop the fuel pump level with the outlet on the swirl pot, still not sure if this is totally essential but i guess it wont hurt
Fitted, tucked up nicely and no worries about catching it, as higher than rear beam and filler neck
Armed with a load of torques ptfe braided hose and quality rubber braided for lift pump i set about doing the fuel lines front to back
Front end back in one piece
Not many pics as i was mostly raking s**t out of my eyes even though i was wearing goggles and just cutting my hand on the braid every 2 mins.
Measured the hose quite tight to avoid waste and was 6"short on the return from swirl pot to tank, so no start up this weekend. Tried to buy some locally but all the motorsport shops have closed locally, nearest one is 30 miles away and none in stock.
I could cobble some efi hose in as its only a low pressure return, but that means a face/gob full of fuel when i chance it, and i absolutely hate fuel/fuel lines so will revisit when the parts arrive.
Only wiring to pumps to do and fill with oil/prime oil system and should be good for a fire up. Thanks for reading!

I gather there is no quality control whatsoever on the cheap bits, some stuff is ok, some stuff is terrible, take your chances i guess!
The bedliner paint finish is awesome and hard as nails, hides a million sins if you cant be arsed to prep the part well. Only one downside, black shows all the dust and fingerprints

Weekend update
Lift and main pump wired up, went a bit overkill with the wiring possibly, 2x 40amp relays and 6mm wiring for main pump, but should be more than adequate. Also wired up stack fuel gauge and pikey temporary calibrated the dash with an old sender.
Relays fitted in cubby hole on drivers side.
Crimp and solder/heatshrink
Wiring fed over tank and ran in plastic conduit
Interior finally back together.
An10 breather system completed now the good fittings have arrived from Torques.
Refitted the plastic scuttle and battery cover and seals.
To do list is nearly bottomed out, need more parts to continue.
Ive ordered boost hoses and a few bits but no idea if they will arrive any time soon with the current situation, if fuel hose turns up then poss fire up this week. With a lockdown looking more likely mapping may have to be moved back, playing it by ear at the moment !
