Happy new year everyone. Just thought I’d send a ‘list only’ update on the progress of Project: Ford Timelord. As with all the other stages, the MOT is taking longer than expected. Until the car has an MOT it cannot be registered and until it is registered it cannot be legally driven or kept on a public road. The biggest hurdle to overcome for MOT repairs is obtaining a new set of cables for the handbrake, these are quite difficult to get hold of even in the USA, and I am expecting to wait for a further 2 weeks for these. A majority of the other work has now been completed, including most of the welding, and affixing indicators to the front and rear of the car. I’ve managed to acquire very similar models of indicators as worn by the original car, bullet style on the front, and flat circular style on the boot. Although not road legal, I have driven it about 4 miles up the road to the welding shop. I think I had a smile on my face for the whole journey – it’s like driving a canal barge on the road. And great news, the most elusive part that is was trying to get hold of, the roof mounted search lamps, I managed to find a set on eBay. They’re not an ‘exact’ match, but they are as near as I’m going to get, and I’ll add the criss cross mesh onto the lens when they arrive, they are pictured here: http://img208.imageshack.us/i/captureht.jpg/ Anyway, just thought I’d send out the update, hope everyone is having a good festive season.
