Rear Panel - Day 3

Fhew, busy day today.  Spent all day working on the car straight, the reality is pre building the rear panel may have been easy but it made fitting an absolute pain.  Not sure if its normally as difficult as I found it, but the whole panel was very rigid so it didn't make my life easy....but...its on.

I had already laid the wiring loom through the tunnel.  The get the correct position I've temporarily put the firewall in and attached the fuse box to it, from there I've done what everyone else does (and actually whats really obvious) and ran the loom through the tunnel and past the diff, then out to the various places it needs to be.   I do quite a lot of cabling at work and I actually find it quite relaxing, in the end this was really easy.  Difficult to see in the photos but I have made a neat job, attaching the loom via rivets and cable ties all along the underside of the fuel tank (obviously attached to the chassis though!):

The rear earth is on the right hand side, via rivnut, you can just make out where I have removed the powder coating.

It took so much work to get to this stage:

It was made even more difficult work on my own but I got there:

It all seems straight and is level, I think I got lucky to be honest - preassembling was a mistake, maybe.  I will only know if I ever have to do this again and there's no chance of that any time soon!
