Weekly update.

* Done 99.9% of all the electricity in the car now, so it feels good.
* Made an electrical circuit for controlling all the doors with remote control since all the handles are missing on the outside.
* Electric buttons on the inside of the doors to get out.
* Have also connected the seats with switches so you can control them electrically from the dashboard.
* Connected all the speakers.
* Connected the cooling fan to the engine.
* Installed all the steel plates on the floor around the steering column and the foot brake.
* Installed insulation and the floor mat in the front.

Completed the electric opening of the side door.
Got a linear actuator that has a pulling force of 90kg and 5cm stroke. It is connected to a remote control but there will also be physical buttons on the inside. Also inserted electrical contacts between the door frame that supplies the lock with power.

Here are two links from where I bought the parts.

Didn’t get much done today but I managed to get the battery box finished at least.
Reused the cut-off floor plate. Welded a frame around the plate.
Painted everything and installed a sealing strip under the plate.

I’ve been thinking a bit about how I should proceed with the electrical system that will control the opening of the doors and the connection of the speakers.

Found these, have placed an order for them and will install them in both front doors and the side door.

Hope it works as I have planned 🙂

Now the + pole is attached to the battery.

No smoke so far so everything seems to be in order.

Have finished the electrical for the taillights.
The instrumentation is complete.
Fan, wiper, washer pump, horn are complete.
Now I just have to connect the headlights and parking lights in the front and the main electrical system is complete.

Had to rebuild the windshield wipers, new modern wiper blades.

The electricity took longer than I had expected.
The car came with a standard electrical system, the only thing I
have used from it is the fuse terminal.

I have built the rest myself as the functions I wanted were missing.

Made 2 connection terminals, the left one is for the rear of the car.
The right one is for the front of the car.

All cables are routed and connected. I have also connected everything to the engine. I have some electricity left for the instruments but should be finished soon.

So hopefully I can connect the positive cable to the battery after the weekend and we’ll see if anything works.

I also had to replace the fan motor for the ventilation because it sounded very bad.

The project has been a bit slow lately.
Been pretty miserable at work but now it’s a closed chapter.

Now I can focus on more fun things 🙂

The latest update is the battery box and wiring to the starter motor and generator.

Built a new battery box that is lowered into the floor instead of the original battery box that sits on the floor behind the driver’s seat.

Built for 2 batteries to ensure power for upcoming sound installation.
There is also a 200amp generator that will deliver a little more power than the original generator.

The result was quite okay.
