Happy with the shade of colour, this weekend's job was to refit a new carpet/underlay.
We used the old carpet and underlay as templates, got the old Stanley knife out and away we went (have you met me mate Stanley?
)We got most of it done Saturday (the light ran out on us), and then spent the evening in the workshop rebuilding an old Holley that I had for it
Sunday, the wives trundled off swimming for a few hours giving us more free time to finish off the carpet fitting.
Come the afternoon all was done, so we cracked on with a small little fault with the rear lights.... what fun that turned out to be....NOT!!
We ended up dismantling the turn signal assembly as thats where we'd traced it to.
(nothing to do with the cancel cam that we'd already fitted as we knew about the fault before teardown of the column)
The problem was probably just due to it's age and the fact it's been standing, as 1 of the terminals wasn't quite touching where it should. We're talking 1 1000th here!
The gap was so fine you didn't know there was a gap til you prodded it with a stick
NOT an obvious find, but we got there in the end, so now all the lights work as they should
(Thats another $100 saved )So, at least if we come across the problem again with another car, we know where to look 1st
All in all it was another productive weekend, and thanks to Phil coming round today, we actually managed to stop for a cup of tea
(nice to see you Phil
)Lights done is another step closer to getting an MoT on the ol' girl
What 'd'ya think to the colour?
