2010 January
I have finally managed to start a re-design of this web site. Encouraged by one extremely intelligent and artistic friend, I was inspired to finally bring this site up to date. The Light 15 essentially remains as it has over the past 2 years because I have been working on getting the D Special up and running as my regular car.2008 March 30
Ok, a lot of news. I have been working on the wiring harness again. A harness pattern does not seem to exist for my year of citroen and this has caused a few problems. The layout of the dash and the the dipper switch on the steering wheel stalk has meant that the harness I ordered from "Vintage Wiring Harness" was wrong. After many phone calls and a lot of research on the TA-L forums, I have handed over the harness to Rod Smith from "Classic Wiring Looms". I have made up some harness drawing for my car and have included them here.2007 October 28
I'll post some pictures of the steering wheel. I had it reconditioned by Pearcraft.2004 June 14
Things have been moving slowly, but at least moving! Speaking of moving, I hope you have been able to follow this ISP web page move. I have been ordering more ?bits and pieces? from CTA and even some Lucas electrical items from: Vintage Carparts UK.2003 August 13
This site gets away from me over time... I have just come back from 4 weeks holiday in Europe. I did manage to visit CTA in Holland. I came home with a my suitcase heavy with some spare parts, steering ball joints and some nice chrome mirror accessories. The project is progressing, I have the wiring harness "placed" on the car. The 4 windows are in place (strictly a 2-man job). The rear gaurds, valance and piping are also bolted on. The chrome steering wheel tube is clamped in place. The headlights have been chromed. See some pictures...2002 November 3
Now the car has returned home. The paint work looks magnificent as you can see from this link.2002 March 9
Sorry about the change of URL. Dingoblue informed their clients this month that they would be terminating their services in 8 weeks. I trust that all of you were able to move across to the new address.2002 February 10
I have made a decision to get the paintwork done professionally. The bodywork is came up so well, I think that I will have a nice specimen here. (I'd want to with the amount of money spent. My Christmas holidays were spent sanding and painting the small detachable items (brackets etc.). The car is booked in to be painted in May.2001 July 5
Today the Light 15 made it back home again. After 5 months the body returns, all panels are fitting well and the whole car is ready to be block sanded in preparation for its final painting (black, of course). But first I will be rust proofing inner doors, sills and boot.2001 July 1
Check out the new member of the family, a 1972 D-Special, set to replace the CX2400 (my everyday car). The panels are all complete, everything has had a test fit and adjustments have been made. The underside will now be stone-guarded and a final coat of primer will go on during the week.2001 June 1
Now things are really moving. The main monoque body is complete, the lefthand sill that was cutout last time is repaired. The rear floor area is also finished, with welded fatigue cracks. The boot is in place! and the rear guards will be on by the time you read this. The completed bodywork should be back in my garage by the end of the month.2001 May 29
I took some more pictures at the beginning of May but I haven't had time to upload them till now. The floor is in and it looks impressive! The front right-hand side is completed and the left-hand side below the doors has been cut-out.2001 April 7
29 hours of panel work was clocked up during the week. Floor is out, with a new one being prefabricated. The engine bay is finnished, and the front worst rust affected areas are now repaired. I thought I would reorganise the site into before and after shots. Dare I mention that I'm looking at picking up a '62 ID19 for restoration?2001 March 25
When things get going.... they really get going! The body shell is now with the panel-beater and there are many new things being done on a weekly basis. Have a look at some of the work now!2001 January 20
Did I say "shortly"? Well, after many more phone calls and a christmas holiday, the rest of the car made it to be sandblasted. Check the photos. I have also decided that while it is out I may as well get a "pro" to start most of the rust repair. Things may suddenly start to happen.
