Spent several hours working on the Cobra last night and didn't seem to get very far :( One of those frustrating evening of which I'm sure there will be many more!
First of all we removed the doors and bonnet and associated hinges and brackets and packed them up to be sent away for powder coating in gloss black then we decided to have a look at the Main Body Loom for the first time.
Looking through the GD build notes and a couple of blogs we managed to get a rough idea of where the looms runs through the car and into the boot and bonnet area and we set about cutting the 45mm dia hole in the bulkhead to take the loom through into the bonnet and we attached the fuse box to the slot previously prepared.

We then drilled a pilot hole from inside the boot until we came through to the interior which we followed with a 25mm dia hole through the rear bulk head but stopping short of the interior panel. In the interior panel we created a slot approximately equal to the width of the cable to allow the loom to pass smoothly from the boot down into the floor at the rear of the passenger seat.

I now need to order some 'P' clips to start fixing the loom into place and then work out where all the random cables connect within the boot area - nobody seems to show this clearly in their blog, so once I have figured it out I will add more detail for others to follow.
