Well. She's arrived! ;D ;D I got off school around 12 yesterday, dropped my car off at my house and rode down with a few friends. Finally made it down there about 2.5 hours or so later after a few mishaps with the directions. The place was oddly also very difficult to find, as there literally is no parking for the place Got in and they did waive the gate pass fee, but not the storage fee. There was a gentleman in front of me with some issues so it took forever, but once the guy at the counter got to me it took all of 20 minutes and I was out the gate and on the road! She started after sitting for a few weeks on the first crank! She drove as, Matt said, like she was riding on rails: pin straight! She ran like a top, and made it the whole way home turning many heads on the way. The back clusters failed all the way down to Southampton, but worked fine on the way home from Newark until I got onto my road where they failed. They eventually turned back on about a half hour later when I took my younger brother for a ride. Must be a ground, or earth as you all across the great pond would say. Needless to say this weekend will be spend looking over everything and fixing any electrical issues. ACTION SHOT: Vincent

Great news Vince. As for the electrics and bad earths, the first place that I would check is the licence plate bulbs followed by the side repeaters (the fender mounted turn signals). Best of luck.

Thanks for the tips guys! I'll probably give it a look-over this weekend, although that might have to be called off as I'm gonna go to a car show this weekend upstate and stay with a buddy. Took the car out locally today. No back cluster again in the middle of driving. Some photoshoot action with some buddies:

If the General Lee can jump it, so can my Daf.... ;D Is that the nice shiny General Lee that they used for the close-up camera work or the dozen or so others that got smashed up performing the stunts? ;D Glad you wrestled her away from the custom folks and can finally enjoy.
