Working Bee at Bluey HQ - Safety Lights

With just four short months until the 2024 Camp Quality esCarpade, the boys figured a working bee was in order to start making some progress on Bluey...


Hoges came up for the weekend to give Damian a hand.  Step one - install the roof-racks that hold the rooftop pod and the amber flashing lights previously removed from Retro Rock-It.


With a clean under bonnet, Damian decided to mount the fuse block under there instead of inside the cabin.


Holy spaghetti factory Batman!  Hopefully Damian knows where all these wires go!


After just two short days, the lights are wired up and working as expected!


Rear white, amber rotator...


The rooftop pod will be repainted in the Bluey theme - it's just sitting there to test the lights at the moment!


Amber strobe lights also working...


Neat wiring is neat!


With a passenger side airbag in the way, the boys had to decide on a new location for the switch panel.  The space below the ashtray looks to be the go.  (It's just sitting there at the moment - still to be attached properly).


And with that, the weekend was done.  Hoges went back home to his place, and Damian headed off to play a game of basketball.  Bluey is one step closer to being ready for esCarpade, much to Damian's relief!  Next stop - registration.

In unrelated news, the boys' fundraising total for 2024 stands at an amazing

$9932

Nearly half way to their $20,000 fundraising goal for 2024.
