This car came in with a mess of elctrics. It had been standing for 25+ years. I took it from almost nothing working to fully functional.

Kouger Instruments. The paint on the dash was falling off at every touch( No primer used).

As this is a kit car. I did not do my usual extra wire removal as was already non original. Lots of wires left over from conversion.

Marking where the switches are now located. Huge Issue with paint falling off (looks like no primer)but they were redoing it so all good.

Standing for 25+ years it had lots of issues. I am not sure what left the white streaks but it wasn't me.

Front View. Reg No hidden.

Kouger Side View

Laser Engraved Dash Icons. Looked better then stickers.

Kouger View From Back. You can just make out the new switch symbols I laser engraved.

Kouger 3D Printed Chassis No Stencil. They could not find the placement of the original

An Example of a Kouger Kit Car (NOT THE ONE I WORKED ON)

After buying specialist equipment as well as making up a Noid Light Array and doing 25 plus hours of (free) work. I walked

I was so close but mistake after mistake by people who shouldn't have but did anyway made it a challenge

The cover of an ECU from a 350SL that had some strange noises coming from inside.

This is what happens when the previous tech does not put the seal back

This was not done for aesthetic reasons. I had a lot of corrosion on the cover and bits were flaking off. No more flakes.

All cleaned and primed for reassembly. Best not forget the seal

ECU Board before Reflow.

Bad solder joint top left.

Dry solder and bad connections.

Some of the damage

Plug half inserted. If this was the only issue I would have been delighted.

Bubbles but once cleaned it was fine.

Fungus and dry solder before reflow and deep clean.

Some fungus and another possible dry solder joint.

This was supposedly reconditioned at some point. I at first refused to believe that this was the case but then I realised NO SEAL.

The ECU needs to be reflowed, lots of dry solder joints as well as fungus etc.

An example of why you NEVER pull a plug by it wires.

Attention to detail is important. I was getting strange reading from the throttle position sensor. Found this checking linkages.

Can you see it?

Have a look at the end of the linkage.

It is vital when working on to take your time and make sure everything is correct.. Take pictures before if you are unsure

Throttle opens now. Finally my readings make sense.

Crimp connectors for a long lasting reliable service life. NOT

Love these SU pumps. Quick clean of the contacts and off we go for another 25 years.

An example of just why I take a bit longer to do things. You don't get that with soldered connections.

I hate crimp connectors. This customer paid twice to get the job done properly once.

Not only can crimp connectors come out but they are also prone to corrosion build up between the connector and the wire.

It works out cheaper to just get someone who know what they are doing to fix the car. It took me longer to unravel the mess then to fix it.

Wires just get wrapped around by themselves

This just stopped working for no reason.

Self tying wires. NEVER TOUCHED

Removed some defunct switches from the Roadster couldn't just leave open holes

The Finished Article

Radio Mod where I began.

This is what the enclosure looks like before it becomes real.

Radio housing designed and ready for printing

This plus a relay and a special aerial makes old cars work with new tech.

Fully enclosed to keep it from touching any part of the car.

This was where i started.

Badly Modified Star Sapphire Window Mech

To get my new design to work. I had to get this to fit a Landrover window motor

Trying to show 3D image in a 2D world. The new gear

The new 3d printed gear and entire system was torture tested with 150 cycles of Up/Down. After completion was disassembled and checked.

How the finished article looked. PRINTED IN RESIN FOR STRENGTH AND TORTURE TESTED.

It took a lot of trial and error to get everythi.ng just right

Progress is being made.

I had no pictures or diagrams to work with so putting this back to original was not possible. Instead I took off all the obvious additions

This is after getting rid of all the mess and taking it back to as original as I could.

Broken.

Completely rusted out end stop switch

Replaced this with a new Landrover window motor

I too was stumped on how to get this mech to work until I found this piece hidden away rusting in the bottom of the door.

This was found lying inside of the door and I think it is what led to the unnecessary modifications

Fitted and tested before wiring and limit switches
