Project 240 – Stage 1
Our Project 240 is starting to take shape. Stage 1 is where we get the car street legal by obtaining an inspection sticker and tag. We picked up the title and went to the tag office to obtain a new tag. We learned that the car has a “trap” on it. We were told this is due to the auctioneer not completing their end of the sale of the vehicle. The lot we bought it from is “supposedly” taking care of this.
Secondly, we are unable to obtain an inspection sticker due to the rear lights not working. No brake-lights, back-up lights, blinkers or parking lights. The dealer knocked off some of the price of the car as we decided to have it looked at ourselves. I first cleaned up all the “extra” wiring the previous owner had installed to hook-up who-knows-what! I rewired a couple of lights in each housing to clean up the mess it had become. Still, the brake-lights would stay on all the time. So we dropped it off this morning at Robertson’s Auto Electric.
I just called them for an update and they have the parking lights and blinker’s working. The brake light issue is due to the pedal switch which will be delivered tomorrow and we should be able to pick it up then. I’ll update once we get further along on stage 1.
