Bit better, but for the total price of relocating it I cant see the benefits. More room in the bay I guess.

Update, no pics though, tomorrow there shall be some. 
 
Got the loom almost finished, was going to fit it back in the car when I realised some fucker has cut off the crank sensor plug from the loom, so I have to find the wiring for that and get it fixed. 
 
Also found the injector loom has be bodged to fuck, why I really dont know, as it doesnt need to be touched for the conversion, so need a new one of those too. 
 
Luckly, found a guy on 106owners with all the wee parts I need, so hopefully I can get the bits from him. 
 
Received my compbrake quickshift today, slimline fan is en route, all I need now is buckets and I can take it for a drive again, once the loom is fixed.

Finished the loom today, turns out the crank sensor plug was there, I had just assumed it was for something else, stupid fucker I am   
 
Anyways, the loom is almost back on the car, few small bits to do yet. Still waiting on the new injector loom.

Still no injector loom, wont be running untill that arrives. Slimline fan arrived today, removed the bodged old twin fan (only one was wired up anyway), will fit the slimline next week sometime. 
 
Bought a big sheet of perspex today, 2mm thick, really light. Will try and make up some rear door cards with it

Homebase, 1200x900 sheet, was under £15. Way too much for the rear cards really, but will have room for error I suppose.

Been looking at the MSA regs, turns out I need a electrical and fuel cut off, so bought a key type electrical switch for the dash, will make a blank for the cd player and pop it in there. 
 
Fuel, I think Ill just put a switch in the power feed for the fuel pump, that ought to do it.

Did a bit more on it tonight. 
 
Loom is now all connected, still waiting on the bastarding injector loom though   
 
Fitted the slimline fan, quickshift and put the headlights back in (Bonnet isnt shut in the pics btw) 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
And the massive sheet of perspex I got, will be making a radio blank + rear door cards with it: 
 
  
 
Also got a pair of cobra monacos on the way, ready to fit

Sliders I think, would of prefered fixed but a bit less hassle with sliders though. 
 
What guage wire did you use for your battery relocation? Need to get it in behind the passenger seat I think.

Made an attempt on cutting out the rear door cards today, made a cunt of it   
 
Got a decent template though, might take it to somewhere with a bandsaw to cut it, would make a better job. 
 
Still waiting on the injector loom

I never wired in the middle beams. 
 
I assume you are thinking of morettes for your 306? I had a set on my black one, I removed them as the wiring for the middle lamps was fucked.
