My wife said I needed a hobby.....so imagine my surprise when I showed her a picture of a kit car, and said "Let me build this.."......and she said "I think that's a great idea!" So this blog is a chronicle of my efforts to piece together a Birkin S3 Clubman, and a tribute to my wife's patience and understanding.

Electrical System
One thing I had been putting off since January was cutting the wiring harness from the Focus and making up the extension harness to pull all the wiring together. Whilst I thought I could do it, the reality is my skills would have got me 80% of the way, and the last 20% would have been expensive and time consuming to fix. I bit the bullet and did what all clever Clubbie builders do in Australia, gave the wiring to Jeff Mills from Precision Auto Electrical in Nowra. Jeff is a fellow Clubman driver (very quick by all accounts!), and in less than 2 weeks he had converted my two donor looms into a thing of beauty. I am still laying the new harness out and will post photos when its done, but here is a photo of the bulkhead and fuse box after connecting Jeff's loom into the body loom and ECU. Very tidy!
