Back on the road

It's been just over two years since I began the restoration in October 2007 and today it passed the MOT. It initially failed the test yesterday due all the lights failing and the fuel pipe becoming unclipped from the chassis.

I wouldn't mind but I checked the lights once it was booked in for the test, and again just before I drove it to the garage. It turned out to be a faulty bullet connector block so at least it was an easy fix, and the sparks under the dashboard led me straight to it! The fuel pipe clip must have come off when I removed the tank a few weeks ago, again I had a spare so no real hassle.

All I have to do now is get it taxed and the shake down testing can begin.

Finished at last (well almost)

The car is back together and all I have left to do is to buy & fit the rubber bumpers, and put it through the MOT (booked in for Friday 20th November).
