well the thread title says "progress at last" well very little today , welded in my vin number plate PLEASE NOTE IT IS A PIG TO DO NOW so a word to the wise apply early on in your build and do it before you get to far on.
A wee something to smile about though, after being not very happy with the quality of the chrome headlights I bought and weeping at the price of stainless ones I found an ad for stainless 7" headlight bowls in the states , said they were happy to ship and it cost me under £100 the pair shipped and with priority customs clearance. so the postie delivered them today and I fitted them very happy with them and the service, we will see how the quality bares up with british weather but it cant be any worse than the others.
on a down side I still have a starting problem and its causing me some grief.......... I need to sort this out before I can do anything else,
symptoms are;
it was starting fine but while doing other jobs it hadn't been started for a few months,
fresh charged battery, power at the hot solenoid terminal and power when key is at start at the wee solenoid wire, good earth but no cranking not even a click from the solenoid, tried bridging the solenoid terminals and the starter spins but doesn't engage the flywheel to turn the engine. So ordered another starter (used) and exactly the same issues.
Any ideas ????
