Front Wings Ready to Go!

Had some time on the car today. My idea was to trim the fron wings so that the wheels could be removed without clashing. But decided this didn't make much sense so I grabbed a pipe and a huge wrench and re-bent the wing stays to give more clearance. Then placed the wings on them and drilled them with the 3,5mm drillbit, marking the stays for further drilling.

Then, using a bit of rope and a wrench as weight, marked a vertical passing through the centre of the wheel and drilled the wing laterally for the indicator light.

Removed the wings and enlarged the holes on the stays with the 6mm.

Back on the storage room, enlarged the holes to 6mm. Since they will get the doomed-head bolts with the square section, as the nosecone, had to work with the file to make the holes square.

On the side holes, used the 12mm drillbit to further enlarge the hole. Then used the small diameter sanding head on the dremmel to make the hole bigger. Switched to the large diameter sanding head and after a bit more sanding, the rubbers fit correctly. Then inserted the indicators on the rubbers.

Just need to get some PU adhesive (the one I have is now dry) and add wires from the indicators to the engine bay and I can put the front wings in place.

After all this, filled the tank with 10L of gas and mounted the battery (that was charged 3 weeks ago) to try to get the car for a spin inside the parking space. Unfortunately, the battery was reading 11,5v when I tried starting the engine for the first time. It did not had enough juice to get the car going. Next time I try, I'll have to try on the day I charge the battery.

Still managed to see that I wired the indicator stalk on the steering column incorrectly. It blinks the right side when it should blink the left and vice-versa (of the nosecone indicators, the only ones already in).

It was odd that, when I removed the battery after trying to start the car, both positive and negative bolts were very hot. I never noticed this before. I wonder if I have a short or something and that is why it failed to start today.
