Resto update

[macmattom]

<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="2"><font color="blue">After 3 1/2 years, a total nut and bolt strip down, full respray and rebuild, I am now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Work has interupted my progress on numerous occasions (hence the length of time taken so far), but has been a necessary evil in order to pay for the resto! I am hoping for a good few sessions now on the run up to Christmas.

I can now report that all the electrics on my FHC work as they should with one exception. I have accepted defeat with the headlights not lifting when you use the "pass" function (pulling back on the indicator stalk). I have noted this is a common fault, so just accepted it after scratching my head for 4 months on this snag alone! I have recently rewired my rear fogs so they now only come on with the main headlights (they were wired through a permanent live so could be switched on with no ignition key or any lights turned on!) and the seatbelt warning light works fine. I will consider putting in a set of front fogs, but that'll be easy enough.

All I have to do now is to get the engine working! This is the main focus of my attention up to Christmas, and if I can get that sorted it'll give me a few months early next year to get all those little jobs wrapped up and it'll be MoT'd ready for the summer.

Well, that's the plan[:o)]!

Wish me luck!</font id="blue"></font id="size2"></font id="Comic Sans MS">

Great effort. Electricity was born from thunderstorms so its no wonder its hard to tame.

Are you still planning on coming south next year?

It's really inspiring to see such effort being brought to to the task.

You look well on track to achieving your plan.

Good luck with the final stages.

Peter, the plan has slipped 18 months now (company finances aren't what they used to be, and hopefully they're paying [:D] ), but it's just a deferral, not a cancellation.</font id="blue"></font id="size2"></font id="Comic Sans MS">
