Well weve been busy out there today!

A big thanks to Carl who came over and welded a couple of holes we found, and helped us finish off the pedals. We went shopping, got home and he had finished!!

We connected her battery and managed to get some of her lights working, (although there are a fair few that dont)!!!!!

So we finished off giving her floorpan a lovely coat of black hammerite.

Fingers crossed in the morning we can get the carpet and seats in and then think about getting her engine in.

Lots unfortunatley!!!

She doesnt wanna tick over on her own, and when she dies she's a bugger to start again so that needs looking at. It also doesnt help that she is being run on petrol that is prob about 15 years old!

Most of her lights dont work so all of those need sorting.

We need to sort a number plate light as she has no popes nose.

The solonoids dont work to open the suicide doors so gotta get new ones and try to get it all working.

Wipers dont work!

Thats all I can think of at the mo but im sure there will be plenty more.

That's not too bad a list Very Happy

Bella didn't want to start again today once she had stopped - found out it was the choke - there wasn't a wire going to it so it was on full choke when she was warm - hence why she wouldn't start!
