1971 Restoration by green96v4

2 minute(s) of a 34 minute read

so finally got hold of some flexible chromed plastic trim that covers the worn trim strips nicely - next job is to finally start the engine, found the electrical gremlin that was causing the lights to go crazy - Autosparks had crossed two wires over on a multi pin plug (so going through the pain of redrawing the wiring diagram was worth it!)

Still have to figure out the horn as the wooden wheel I have (from a different car, a Les Leston Stirling Moss wheel found in a barn wreck!) has a different horn set up

Engine was rebuilt in 1998/1999 and has sat all this time waiting for the rest of the car to be finished, so I was nervous!!

some fairly complete images (still have a bunch of little jobs to do) took it for a shakedown run around the block and all went well (even ran into a police officer with no number plates on the car)

Just in time for winter!
