Tonights instalment.

First up I painted the streeing colomn parts and left them to dry.
Next I decided to strip out the engine bay, as I want to repaint that.

I will buy some paint stripping disks tomorrow so I have them when I need them.

Then I figured I would pull the dash cluster, as the amp gauge and headlights played up some times, I thought it was a loose wire on the alternator, once I removed the dash pad I could see that 2 of teh retaining screws had fallen out, and the remaining 6 had almost fallen out, the cluster needs to earth to the metal dash frame. So with loose and missing screws then the whole cluster was not earthing, this was ok in the daylight but with dash lights on it was jsut too much.
Whilst the cluster is out I will clean it up and repaint the needles.


Then after avoiding it for as long as I could, it was time to cut open the chassis rail.


Insert many more swear words here.

So I will now be cutting the rail out of x cop car.
