Yup, you'll get there Kelvin and as you know, those "jobs" could be worse. They just sound like frustrating little jobs to get out the way, the ones you usually leave last to on the "to do list" hahaha, still, you'll get there. The headlight covers are quite a common problem in the Chargers aren't they? Glad to hear the car is finally having it's wiring issues sorted too, an often overlooked job. 40 year old wiring that's been touched by several "professionals" over the years is dodgy (no pun intended). I got a new loom for Lucy form the States when I did mine and back then (2004-2005) it was one of the best reproduction items I had seen and still is throughout the resto, was awesome, like original. Keep us posted on that sexy beast of a machine!  Off to the garage myself for some mock work on Lucy.......... Ps: Let me know if you'd like this thread moved to the Resto section bud, your call, no dramas!  |
