shut yo trap you

havent updated ina while. lots going on but not much to show for it, s1 dash+no heater box/under trays= poo fuse box hanging in the passenger foot well area. so i changed it up a bit....



cut the bracket out, so was left with this


rebent, trimmed, bared metaled and weld through primed



forgot to take a before photo, but can see i cut a hige chunk out, folded a piece in and made new sides up


new bracket fits a treat, weldy weldy


nice fit, and can still get to everything i need too, the wiring hanging out the bottom of the fusebox is for dash switches so will run across the top of the dash like normal.


thanks for looking

Top work as usual mate
