Richard Scott 69 Charger

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Jun 09, 09 9:46 pm

Got the new heater in today, doing the pipes tomorrow. Also stuck door cards, carpet and rear seat in plus parcel shelf. I'll have to take the front door cards off again to fit the stereo speakers when I get around to it.

Waiting on a man to send his distributor to Neil so he can recurve it for me. If he reads this I wish whoever he is he'd hurry up and send it so Neil can get it to me.

Got a new thermostat and housing to throw in aswell while I'm doing water works with the heater.

More to come, soon I hope.

I know it's boring and looks awful but I fitted some seatbelts today, just something to stop me falling out of the seat when I turn left.

I got them to fit to my van when I had it but never got round to putting them in. They're just in the stock bolt holes so they are all over the shop, eventually I will put the reel in line with the top mounting point like GeneralWee did here: http://www.moparuk.com/forums/viewtopic ... c&start=15 but these will do for now. His are 500/45 from these guys http://www.securon.co.uk/seatbelts_layouts.htm#all just thought I'd include that for all you seatbelt fact fans out there. Cheers for posting those GeneralWee, I used your pictures and info as a guide.

Just waiting for some wages to come in to get the rest done. Need to try and line up my headlights aswell.

Been messing around, fitted a new thermostat and housing which helped my overheating problem. Neil has recurved a distributor core for me and it's on the way. Just been adjusting the parking brake so took the car up the hill to test it on a slope with bodies in. Works fine which was nice.

It was great tooling around the local lanes, for me anyway. I think I made every monocle in the village fall out in surprise!

I'll be popping over to Autominster next week to try for my MOT Andy. Are you sure they'll be ok with the American lights set up?

Cheers Tyreman, and that's a crappy photo off my phone and the car is filthy so just imagine what it should look like!

More to come when I'm out and about hopefully legal soon.

As for stance, this is the best one I have so far. I do have some lowering blocks to try and bring the rear down if necessary, it has been advised but I haven't really driven it yet to see how it handles.

We will have to have a run out together when I fix this damn trans leak.

Where do you get your MOT done Dave? Do you have red indicator/brake lights on the rear?

Andy reccomended Autominster in Morpeth but I'm trying to find as many Yank friendly places as possible.

I just went to the ATS Euromaster garage around the corner from me. I have UK legal lights.

BREAK OUT THE FINE CHINA AND TIE A YELLOW RIBBON ROUND THE OLD OAK TREE!

I'M LEGAL! MOT'd today.

$\:D/$

The day was slightly marred by the fuel filter glogging up and the car dying on the A1 south on the way back. I was forced to call the RAC to come and get me off the side of the road asap due to the danger and between me and the very nice RAC man called Neil we took the filter off and I just drove home without.

Apart from that and the fact it was tipping it down the car was great, ran much better without the filter in to be honest but that was probably due to all the crap stuck in it

New filter over the weekend and hopefully be at the Metro Centre cruise on Wednesday night.

Cheers to Andyrob for stopping on his way to go drag racing to lend me a hand, you're a true gentleman sir and I salute you. Also thanks to Andy for recommending the MOT centre, great bunch of lads.

That's the longest and fastest I've ever driven the car and I have to say that even keeping it at relatively low speeds it was quite exciting in the wet.

I think I'm going to enjoy this whole Mopar thing.

Good one mate.

The parts i need are waiting to be picked up from Parcel Force tomorrow so I might make the metro center myself.
