Strewth. I can remember the catchphrase to a 50-year-old toothpaste ad.

Radio works fine, just doesn’t light up Stephen.

Got an email back from Vintage Wiring this morning. They anticipate completing my loom in the next week or two. Back on deck today after Covid lockdown. Yippee!

If you want to get the radio tidied up greg bell from one of the forums does a great job - swaps out the capacitors and globes and a general tidy up - i can send his details if you like

Thanks Tim and Rob.
To be honest, at the end of the day, when all is said and done, CBF pulling it out just to get the light working. The end goal is in sight and I am racing to the finish line. Currently wrangling front bumpers.

I ordered my loom June 6th with a promise of 10 week lead but then the shit hit.

If you are coming to Adelaide would be good to catch up. Also may be a good opportunity to visit old mate at Nuri. Not sure how much longer he will be trading as health is sadly flagging.

In the last days of getting the car on the road, the fiddly bits stack up and seem insurmountable. If it won't stop you getting rego, put it on a to-do list for later. Its incredible how much more fun the fiddly jobs are once the rego hurdle is met.

Cheers,

Appreciate the advice Harv, it rings true.

Tim, I will try and get up there. We're mates as well. Maybe in the Ute if I take harvs advice.
