The lights are on (but no one is home)

This is a real nice stage of the restoration, every day she is looking more like a car. As you can see the rear trim is on and now the lights are in and functioning. The fact that the color codes on the wires are long faded caused a few problems as all the connectors are bullets and so it was just a matter of plug and pray. I probably went through every incorrect combination but finally I got there.

The front was somewhat easier as the headlamp plugs are all keyed and the lights worked first time. Most of the front trim is now on and we are now starting to look like the classic cruiser we were meant to be.

Saturday the windshield goes back in and I should also get the exterior door handles back on as well. Onwards and upwards
