Hi All,

 

Herse in France, to register a car in your own name, you need a French MOT of less than 6 months old.

 

I have an MPI mini that I'm restoring and need to get it in my name, so I'm building the Car back up, unfinished, in primer, so that I can get it MOT'ed and registered in my name.

 

It's going OK but I am in need of photos of the engine bay, namely the wiring loom, from the bulkhead to everywhere it goes, close ups too, I can't work out where it all goes etc, its a bunch of spaghetti at the moment.

 

All photos welcome and appreciated.

 

Thanks all.

 

Pete.

I can't find the photos I was going to upload.

They were detailed shots of removing a loom from an MPI showing where everything goes.

 

I took them when I stripped an MPI last year.

 

I've searched both of my computers at home but they may be on my work computer.

 

Ill check tomorrow.

 

Ben
