Hey Guys

I've had this car for over a year now and had the intention of just enjoying it.  Unfortunately I had some problems with the electrics, other things took priority so the poor thing has just been in storage since.

I still do not have the time to work on the car so i'm hoping to find an enthusiast who would be willing to carry out the work to get her going again for a bit of cash.

It isnt going to take much.  Basically one ram stopped working correctly.  This was diagnosed to be wiring related (you could feed it with 24v and it worked, just not via the switch)  The wiring wasnt in great shape and the switches not much better.  So I bought new wiring, a member off of here very kindly donated a switch box and switches and the plan was to re-wire it.

Well I got as far as soldering the switches, wires etc and thats it.  My soldering skills are poor (first time) so that could do with be re-done.  Then the wires need connecting to the boot. 

Since then I have removed the batteries to stoor them inside at room temp. 

As it was so long ago i'm worried i'm not going to rememeber where everything goes etc so to be honest I’d just like to pay someone who knows what they are doing to do it.  If the car gets up and running I’m sure my enthusiasm will return and I’ll get the interior sorted and get the car out on the scene this summer

Here are some pics of the car.  It’s a 1975 Datsun 260c

I'm between Milton Keynes and Aylesbury.  I have a 4x4 with trailer so can transport the car if needed  :)
