I noticed on your whiteboard that you needed to check the ignition switch wiring. I put in a vinwire loom and found the following typo.
The pink wire that goes to the instrument warning lights should be feed from the pink IGN terminal on iginition switch, not the Battery terminal per the supplied doco.
Cheers
Peter.

Some further progress this week. Sometime ago I purchased some NOS parts for the car, and the vendor kindly included this decal   A tricky thing to install, due to its age. I was hoping to also stick on an old NRMA member transfer, but when I tried to float it off the backing, it disintegrated. Fortunately, I managed to get old Norman's transfer on though.  Next was the venetians. Easy by comparison. Here's a shot of it all completed  |

Not all that much - will head to the garage today to do a bit more. Fitted up the doors with the plastic liners, and started installing the door trims and handles.     |

Eddie,
I don't know how they were when new, but when I have installed the plastic door liners I have made a small cut each side, about two inches up from the bottom and layed the last section of plastic inside the door to shed any water or moisture away from the bottom of the door panel.
What have others done?
regards
Weddo

The ones I am using are original, new old stock plastic liners. They have a flap welded on one side that is placed inside the cavity. The purpose is to deflect water as you suggest. |

A few more bits and pieces this weekend. Due to the fact that the tailpipe was too long for local ovens, I decided to try out the POR15 high temp paint for the exhaust system instead of a "jet-hot" style coating.    I was very happy with the finish, and reinstalled the exhaust this afternoon. Then I had to cure it... |

If you haven't grown up by 50, you don't have to.

Umm, What's happening with this car now?  Any further progress? Is Elvis taking up all the car time now?  |
