With quite a bit of that done the roof liner was unpacked. Courage was mustered and, I am missing one bar that suspends the liner. That's ordered with a rear loom and insulation.
So I moved onto the rear lights, I picked up some Jewel lights which are rounded instead of at 90° and are no longer made. So the broken stand off in the lense needed to screw it together was a problem I have been putting off for a long time. A rummage through the spare light lenses I found a clear standard one, cut through the lense to get as much of the stand off as I could, glued it to my lense and job done. Well that was a few hours for that, but no longer available so had to be done. Swopped out the bulb holder for a slightly better finished one which had the plugs still on the wires, thought it might be a bit better!
I fitted the bonnet catch loosely just to get it out of the way. Now I'm a bit overwhelmed by the red, will see how it looks when the painted engine is in, but thinking at least the lever needs to be black.
The next day optimism got the better of me.and moved onto the front side lights/indicators. Gathered up all the parts and gaskets..... and looked at the wires on the back of them.
Was a bit deflated so didn't bother with the head lights that day while I worked out the wiring. But I found some screen jets in the box with the side lights. Now these have been in and out of a shopping basket quite a few times and current funds meant they came back out. Well at some point they didn't, that was quite close to buying another set! Still a quick fit, well after I realised the holes in the scuttle panel where not quite big enough, sigh. Drilled, primed and painted (hurray for a hot day and quick drying paint) but another job done.
As small a step as it's been, it is still nice to be taking just a few parts off the shelf for good. A bit mire space to rummage through the other parts.
