That’s a brilliant way to describe selling cars on Harald.
I think I am realising that the energy that I spent on other builds could have done the C10 to a high standard twice over.
And nobody is going to give me £10000.00 for it as it stands now. Which is less than the money it actually owes me.
With stuff happening it was just a matter of time before I got back to the Astro van.
Well, John my old lodger and driving school instructor got going. I don’t know much about electronics and he loves it.
His driving instruction car was lightly damaged recently when someone cut across and pushed him off the road.
He was quoted £100 for a “repair” which took me about 10 minutes to do with some G3 compound and polish. I touched up a few other marks too.
Because he had cancelled his lessons he spent part of the day here and we started to look at and mess with the Astro’s 1.5 DIN radio that I always disliked, along with the dash that had been cut.
So he/we started to disassemble and try figuring out what the two amplifiers and speakers were doing.
Currently only the 6x9’s in the door work.
Of course because the radio hole is so shallow, one cannot fit a standard sized radio in there so I will have to go to Halfords to see if there is a suitable replacement for it.
The other thing that became apparent was that the replacement is a different colour.
But I will live with that.
I could repaint it like the lower sections that I did before.
So hopefully tomorrow is an easy day for the electrical stuff.
Fingers crossed again.
