  4. I want my social life back!! I am getting a bit bored of it now though.

    Yep, raining here too, but it's meant to brighten up later. And tomorrow's meant to be dry all day, so I'll do the roof then. My mum's out all day today so she can't help me put the doors on until tomorrow as well. But I can put the lights and door handles on today, and other little fiddly bits. And most importantly make the pineapple valve caps and aerial topper. :thumbsup:

    I wasn't sure if this was going to work with erasers, but I heated a tent peg up in the fire, melted a hole in the end and then glued the cap in.

    Don't know how long they'll last for but damn they'll look good for a few miles.
     
  6. Interesting colour combinations definitely none standard but, strangely they work. You cannot fault your effort, speed and finish at this rate you will be finished before me and I started 4 years ago!
     
  7. 'Interesting' or something worse, along with a :eek: face is what 99% of people responded when I said what colours I was doing it.
    I absolutely freakin' love it! :chewie:

  8. Headlight help please. On the rims does the little hole sit at the bottom? (So there's a left and a right rim)

    Are the adjusting screws meant to line up with holes? (The little square tabs) Because they don't!

  9. Yes its a drain hole
     
  10. Great, I'll put the other one together now then. Thanks.
     
  11. one screw holds it on the other side goes round the clip on the right hand side of the bowl on yours i think you will find millz
     
  12. That sounds vaguely familiar now, thank you Barn. So I think I just ignore the square tabs with a screw hole in.

    Does anyone know which fuse is for the indicators please? I think I've just blown it. I hope that's what it is anyway.
     
  13. Nope not the fuse. The passenger side indicators work fine, but front and back drivers side don't. And when I use hazards none of them work. I'll see if I can find anything loose, but any ideas please?
     
  14. Well, I've done something. Both the front now work, but neither of the rear. :thinking:
     
  15. Getting there. 2 front and 1 rear now working. :)
     
  16. You're nuts ;)

    Love the valve caps !
     
  17. Nearly 5 hours later and I finally sorted the indicators and hazards out.

    I can strike auto electrician off my 'what do I want to be when I grow up' list. Electrics suck.
