This is more of a putting two MOT failures together to make one good un'.

I have decided that one owner cared a lot about this Zuk and another did not.

No progress last weekend as I was working. Supposedly an early finish this weekend so I can cut out all the arches and take the body off the chassis.

I'm not sure if i should try and salvage the dash and rectify the wiring or swap my Japanese dash and loom into it?

I'd go for the jap loom, unless you're just going to rewire the whole lot according to the spanish diagram.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Webber is sort of for sale or going on my KJA if it doesn't sell. I might be asking too much for it or not advertising it enough / at all.

Roll on tomorrow. Hoping to be back in the yard for 1ish to crack on.

I gotta wash my wagon first. It's covered in what can only be described as land fill slurry.
