Worked on the car a bit this morning. Main job was to cut wires, crimp them and use plastic ties to hold them. All for the indicators on the front wheel wings. Had to trial fit the wings and was happy with the result. Now the wires are in place and all is ready for the wings to be mounted. This took me an unexpected hour and a half!
Also cleaned the connections from the loom to the battery. One was showing some green stuff (like when 1,5v batteries drip their contents). This because last week I tried to make the car run but it failed. Probably was because the battery was not topped. Anyway, today, after checking the terminals and with a freshly charged battery, the car worked. Just had it for a while on neutral revving and then shut it down. The new gear knob makes it a lot easier to find the neutral!
The reason I haven't fixed the wings yet is because I'm missing the polyurethane for the extra fixing. Looked for Sikaflex or Tiger Seal around and, although there is a Sika branch in Portugal, I was unable to find it. Or a proper replacement. Ended up ordering Sikaflex 221 from the UK through eBay, due to arrive later this week or the next.
