Don't put a deadline because that's the kiss of death  just work on it as much as possible, I tend to write down a list of jobs to be done and stuff needed..and do one a day at least ? |

Makes sense to wait and be happy with a truck you can depend on to get you there and more importantly back again with no stress. Any one want to buy a new flat bed for a Pop pickup  Stix |

I'm of the opposite, I'd like to get the engine running, just to be ticked off the slop chit. Alternator light, simple little job, Temp. live feed to lamp, from lamp to alternator. Temporary rig, again just to get it tested and ticked off. Little run up and down the yard will give you such a morale boost, then put it away and finish it. That is my 2p. worth  |

Nobody thinks I should get on & get the damn thing on the road? I was expecting to be berated by everyone  There is life to be lived and that's more important than getting the Pop on the road by a certain deadline! |

Precisely. Steve, the engine was run 6 months ago. It wasn't driven, but was fired up. No brakes at the moment cos I've disconnected the rear lines, so driving it may not be a good idea! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1EeiQ-ihJA |

Nipped over to Berkshire after work this afternoon to pick up a couple of bits from lovely Leah at the welding shop. Named after Princess Leah in Star Wars. When her Dad retired she took over his business. A girl with her own welding shop -my perfect woman I'm pre-making a few parts for the doors, ready for when I eventually tackle them. So they've welded the recessed reflector mounts that Mr Hornet made for me into the new inner panels that Bernie the fabricator cut for me the other week. They've also welded together 2 pairs of stainless channel, which will be 2 sides of the new window runners. |

From Berkshire, I drove back through Basingstoke & on to Farnborough in Hampshire to see Steve the electrician & Simon the pinstriper. Their workshops are next door to each other, so when the truck's being rewired, Si can sign write the doors. Both loosely booked for Christmas time.

Get the pinstriper to paint the wire colours somewhere so you will always know what's what ? Because your bound to lose the wiring diagram ?  |

 The fuseboard's fitted under the passenger seat so the wiring diagram's laminated & taped to the seat base at the moment.

The new loom has the function actually printed at regular intervals along the wire.
