It was a nice winters day here on Saturday, so I got the car out to give the garage a sweep out and turn it round. It’s great seeing it out in the sun and it gives me a real boost to get it done. While it was out in the open air and easy to work on I shimmed the boot hinges to get it to sit a bit better than it had been but it needs to be a different shape to fit perfectly. The newly cleaned up lock mechanism works properly but I wont tighten it all down till I do the boot seal.

While it was out on the drive I got the bumper down from the roof and dug out the bolts for it. After giving it a quick wipe over I bolted it on the back of the car and took the old number plate lamps out and fitted the new Danchuk ones I had. With them in place I could finish wiring the back of the car so that I would not have to wheel it out to finish it. A quck test to check they both worked and then some more wiring for the tank by putting a plug on the wires and connecting the fuel gauge. A quick check that it ran as well and I was done for the night. Looks like a real car from the back. Sunday I got on with more wiring and did the courtesy circuit and switches along with the wipers, column and AC power relays. Not much to look at for that but a load of progress too.
