Its been a while but I have been getting jobs done but its nothing worth posting.

I have had a crack at wiring the radio to recieve an aux in but I'm not sure where I am going wrong does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I have used 2500 Ohm resistors but I get nothing coming through the speakers

My next problem is that I have light surface corrosion on the head and block where they meet - I was hoping that I could use a little bit of vinegar and lightly rub with wire wool to clean the surface as it shouldn't affect the level of the head

Its been a while with christmas and new year etc but I have managed to sort the head using white vinegar and autosol!

My daily golfs battery was starting to give up on life so I had to replace which means tina has a battery I can use, with a bit of a recharge and using a jump cable for an earth I have managed to start trying out the loom so for the 1st time in 7 years I have lights!!!

the side lights work as to the headlights but I can't figure out why I can't get full beam, I don't get dash lights and the tail light isn't wired up right!

the indicator isn't on by the way!

I'm not an electrician so this is all pretty hard but if anyone knows any tips or things to try to fix it please tell me!

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
